IPv6 Addressing - Running Out of Addresses

IPv6 Addressing and Configuration Fundamentals
An extensive overview of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), primarily comparing it to the limitations of its predecessor, IPv4. Highlights that IPv4’s restricted 32-bit address space necessitated short-term solutions like Network Address Translation (NAT), whereas IPv6 uses a massive 128-bit address space to offer globally unique addresses and built-in End-to-End Connectivity, thus eliminating the need for NAT. Furthermore, the text details the many benefits of IPv6, including a simplified header, native support for IP Security (IPsec), and innovative features like Stateless Address Auto Configuration (SLAAC) and Anycast Support. Finally, the document specifies the representation of IPv6 addresses using hexadecimal notation, categorizes different IPv6 Address Types (such as Unicast, Multicast, and Anycast), and offers Cisco configuration examples for both manual and automated IPv6 addressing and static routing.
