What is IPv6?

What is IPv6? IP address is your digital identity. It’s a network address for your computer so the Internet knows where to send you emails, data, etc IP address determines who and where you are in the network of billions of digital devices that are connected to the Internet. IPv6 or Internet Protocol Version 6 is a network layer protocol that allows communication to take place over the network. IPv6 was designed by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in December 1998 with the purpose of superseding the IPv4 due to the global exponentially growing internet users. IPv4 vs IPv6 The common type of IP address (is known as IPv4, for “version 4”). Here’s an example of what an IP address might look like: 192.168.1.201 An IPv4 address consists of four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. This group of separated numbers creates the addresses that let you and...

How to configure IPSEC static route?

Secure data traffic flow between vEdges, IPSEC is the mode of transport for data traffic to flow from one vEdge to another vEdge as overlay network. IPsec tunnels that run the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) protocol provide authentication and encryption to ensure secure packet transport. Internet Protocol Security is a secure network protocol suite that authenticates and encrypts the packets of data to provide secure encrypted communication between two computers over an Internet Protocol network. It is used in virtual private networks. Tunnel Redundancy: The interface is the IPsec tunnel interface in VPN 0. You can configure one or two IPsec tunnel interfaces. If you configure two, the first is the primary IPsec tunnel, and the second is the backup. With two interfaces, all packets are sent only to the primary tunnel. If that tunnel fails, all packets are then sent to the secondary tunnel. If the primary tunnel comes back up, all traffic is moved back to the primary IPsec tunnel...
