Configuring Windows 7 (Training Kit) - Part 38. This training kit is designed for IT professionals who operate in enterprise enviroments that use Windows 7 as a desktop operating system. You should have at least one year of experience in the IT field, as well as experience implementing and administering any Windows client operating system in a networked environment. | NOTE IPSec6 The IPSec6 tool is not implemented in Windows 7. You might be unable to reach a local or remote destination because of incorrect or missing routes in the local IPv6 routing table. You can use the Route print Netstat -r or Netsh interface ipv6 show route command to view the local IPv6 routing table and verify that you have a route corresponding to your local subnet and to your default gateway. Note that the Netstat -r and Route print commands display both IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables. PRACTICE Configuring IPv6 Connectivity In this practice you configure a static site-local IPv6 configuration on the Canberra computer running Windows 7. You then configure a static site-local IPv6 configuration on the Aberdeen computer running Windows 7 and test IPv6 connectivity. EXERCISE 1 Configuring IPv6 on the Canberra Computer In this exercise you configure IPv6 on the Canberra computer. 1. Log on to the Canberra computer with the Kim_Akers account. 2. To permit ICMPv6 traffic to pass through the Canberra firewall open an elevated command prompt and enter netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name ICMPv6 protocol icmpv6 any any dir in action allow. 3. Open Network And Sharing Center and click Change Adapter Settings. 4. Right-click the network connection to your private network and choose Properties. 5. Select Internet Protocol Version 6 TCP IPv6 and click Properties. 6. Configure a static site-local IPv6 address fec0 0 0 fffe 1. 7. Click the box beside Subnet Prefix Length. The value 64 is entered automatically. The Properties dialog box should look similar to Figure 6-27. FIGURE 6-27 IPv6 configuration on the Canberra computer Lesson 2 Configuring IPv6 CHAPTER 6 343 8. Click OK. Close the Local Area Connections Properties dialog box. 9. Close Network And Sharing Center. 10. In the elevated command prompt enter ping fec0 0 0 fffe 1. Your screen should look similar to Figure 6-28. FIGURE 6-28 Pinging a site-local IPv6 address EXERCISE 2 Configuring the Aberdeen Computer
