Abstract:With the domestic IPV6 network construction, the demand for technical staff of IPV6 configuration and management is growing. This paper mainly discusses the design of IPv6 address auto configuration experiment based on the software of WMware Workstation and Wireshark, etc. In this IPV6 experiment, we combine engineering configurations with protocols theoretical analyses. The experiment is designed to improve the students' understanding for the IPv6 address auto-configuration protocols and multicast addresses represent and usage, and it also enhances students' project practice ability of configuring and managing the host machine and router of IPV6. In this study, no special hardware and software investment is needed. This experiment isn't limited by the condition and the time, and can achieve the combination of internal and external classroom. The design ideas of this paper offer a useful reference for the construction of IPV6 experimental system.
