[c-nsp] IPv6 Transition - IP/MPLS Backbone

Tue Apr 16 14:58:18 EDT 2013

It was in my live network, later I removed it for preferring L3VPN vice
L2VPN.

I think on the route reflector the thing(s) you need to do is add vpnv6 to
global bgp and to the neighbor session..neighbor session will bounce when
you activate another address family to a pre-existing neighbor..it's quick
as I recall, loose a couple pings and that's it

Hello Aaron,

That is great and so happy to hear that, is it real deployment at your live
network ?

MP-BGP between PE- Route Reflector, shall i modify it to allow IPv6 packet
to carry ? or only at PE to work as dual stack ?

Sounds like a good use for 6VPE...as I understand it, I've had to do the
following in my network to get 6vpe working...

- enable local vrf ipv6 data structure which may include you upgrading the
vrf cli to the vrf definition to support ipv6
- enable/activate vpnv6 neighbors within the MP-iBGP core...PE bgp neighbors
or PE to Route Refelctor(s)
- enable the ipv6 vrf within bgp
- enable the pe-ce routing to be ipv6 capable
- enable the ipv6 protocol stack in the interfaces facing CE

...i had to do nothing ipv6-related to my mpls/igp core routing environment.
Nothing.  I think that's nice thing about 6vpe is that providers don't have
to do anything to the core in order to enable ipv6 over pre-existing ipv4
(vpvn4) mpls l3vpn's...

When you are done, a traceroute from a client transiting the 6vpe mpls l3vpn
will look like this... notice hops 2 and 3....i think they are ipv6
compatible ipv6 addresses (but unsure about what they are called)...anyway,
it shows the loopback router id of the mpls transit hop via the 6vpe (the
mpls l3vpn that is ipv6 enabled)

I have IPv4/ MPLS Backbone, i want to deploy IPv6 by using exist Backbone.
Yes, dual stack at PE only which it is facing to CE, but PE will face my
core as IPv4.
Please let me know if it is not clear yet ?

Regards,
Ahmed
