Vijaya Bhaskar A K Internet Services Jan 5, 2000 DHCPv6 and Address Configuration
IPv6 Addressing Architecture Unicast Address Multicast Address Anycast Address
Unicast Address • Unspecified Address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) • Loopback Address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) • IPv4 Embedded IPv4 address • IPv4 compatible IPv6 Address (e.g.) ::15.10.23.2 • IPv4 mapped IPv6 Address (e.g.) ::ffff:15.10.23.2 • Aggregatable Global Unicast Address • Link Local Address (prefix is fe80) • Site Local Address (prefix is fec0)
Multicast and Anycast Address • Multicast • Link local (prefix is FF02) • Site local (prefix is FF05) • Globally unique (prefix is FF0E) • Anycast • Allocated in Unicast Space • (e.g.) Subnet Router Anycast Address subnet-prefix(n bits)+0s(128-n bits)
Life Times of IP Addresses Valid Life Time Preferred Life Time
IPv6 Address Configuration Stateful Autoconfiguration Stateless Autoconfiguration
Stateless Autoconfiguration Advantages Simple to use No need of Servers
Stateless Autoconfiguration Disadvantages Inefficient use of address space Lack of Network Access Control Manages Only Addresses No Authentication
Reconfiguration in DHCPv6 Server plays active role Used by Network Administrator in network renumbering
Stateful Autoconfiguration Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) Client / Server Model of Architecture Centralized Address Management
Identity Association • Identifies Client bindings • IA constitutes following fields • UUID • Time values T1 and T2 • IP Addresses
Features of DHCPv6 • Multiple IP addresses per interface • Authentication • Reconfiguration • Freedom from BOOTP Compatibility • Dynamic DNS Updates
Authentication in DHCPv6 • Need for authentication • ensures the parameters are obtained from authoritative servers • prevents denial of service attacks • Authentication Mechanism • HMAC using keyed-MD5 • Replay Protection
Current Standards Internet Draft on DHCPv6 draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-16.txt Internet Draft on DHCPv6 Extensions draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6exts-12.txt
Features of the New Draft • Common DHCP message headers • Removal of Reconfigure and Reconfigure Reply messages • New Relay behavior - Encapsulated message • Introduction of Identity Association
