IPv6 ready logo support for clusters
You can test clustered appliances for IPv6 Ready Logo certification. Modified commands for testing IPv6 core protocols, such as for ND test cases, Router Solicitation processing, and sending route advertisement and router redirection messages are available in a clustered setup. Following are the IPv6 functionalities available for testing the IPv6 core protocols.
Following are the modified functionalities available to pass IPv6 core protocols, such as ND test cases, Router Solicitation processing and sending Route advertisement and router redirection messaging in IPv6readylogo phase2 test suite.
- Link Local SNIPs
- Address Resolution and Neighbor Unreachability
- Router and Prefix Discovery
- Router Redirection
- DoDAD
With these modified commands, the following configurations are supported in a clustered appliance.
Supportable configurations for testing IPv6 core protocols
For a clustered setup to pass IPv6 Ready Logo test cases, you can execute the following configurations on the Cluster Management IP address (CLIP).
- global IP6 configuration
- basic IPv6 configuration
- additional IPv6 configurations
Global configuration
A global IPv6 configuration enables you to set the global IPv6 parameters (such as relearning, routeRedirection, ndBasereachTime, nRetransmissionTime, natprefix, td, and doodad) to run the basic IPv6 configuration.
At the command prompt, type the following:
set ipv6 [-ralearning ( ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-routerRedirection (ENABLED | DISABLED )] [-ndBasereachTime][-ndRetransmissionTime ] [-natprefix [-td]] [-doDAD ( ENABLED | DISABLED )]
Basic IPv6 configuration
The basic IPv6 configuration enables you to create an IPv6 address and bind to a VLAN interface. You must perform the following configurations to test the IPv6 core protocols.
To add a VLAN to the clustered setup by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
add vlan
To add another VLAN to the clustered set up by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
add vlan
To bind an interface to a VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
bind vlan -ifnum
To bind an interface to a VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
This command adds the global prefix as on-link prefix into RA information for subsequent Router Advertisements. At the command prompt, type:
bind vlan -ifnum
To add IPv6 SNIP address on a VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
add ns ip6 @ [-scope ( global | link-local )][-type
To add IPv6 address on VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
add ns ip6 @ [-scope ( global | link-local )][-type
To bind IPv6 address to VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
bind vlan [-ifnum [-tagged]][-IPAddress
To bind IPv6 address to VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
bind vlan [-ifnum [-tagged]][-IPAddress
To display link local IPv6 address attached to VLAN by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
sh VLAN
Example 1
添加vlan 2添加vlan 3绑定vlan 2 -ifnum 1/2绑定vlan 3 -ifnum 1/3 add ip6 fe80::9404:60ff:fedd:a464/64 -vlan 2 -scope link-local -type SNIP add ip6 fe80::c0ee:7bff:fede:263f/64 -vlan 3 -scope link-local -type SNIP add ip6 3ffe:501:ffff:100:9404:60ff:fedd:a464/64 -vlan 2 add ip6 3ffe:501:ffff:101:c0ee:7bff:fede:263f/64 -vlan 3 bind vlan 2 -ipAddress 3ffe:501:ffff:100:9404:60ff:fedd:a464/64 bind vlan 3 -ipAddress 3ffe:501:ffff:101:c0ee:7bff:fede:263f/64
Example 2
sh vlan 1) VLAN ID: 2 VLAN Alias Name: Interfaces : 1/6 IPs : 3ffe:501:ffff:100:2e0:edff:fe15:ea2a/64 3) VLAN ID: 3 VLAN Alias Name: Link-local IPv6 addr: fe80::9404:60ff:fedd:a464/64 Interfaces : 1/5 IPs : 3ffe:501:ffff:101:2e0:edff:fe15:ea2b/64 Done
Additional IPv6 cluster configuration
To test IPv6 core protocols, you can use the following new or modified IPv6 configurations.
To set VLAN specific Router Advertisement parameters by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
set nd6RAvariables -vlan [-ceaseRouterAdv ( YES | NO)] [-sendRouterAdv ( YES | NO )] [-srcLinkLayerAddrOption ( YES | NO )][-onlyUnicastRtAdvResponse ( YES | NO )] [-managedAddrConfig ( YES | NO)] [-otherAddrConfig ( YES | NO )] [-currHopLimit ][-maxRtAdvInterval ] [-minRtAdvInterval] [-linkMTU ] [-reachableTime] [-retransTime ] [-defaultLifeTime]
To set an on-link global prefix’s configurable parameters by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
set onLinkIPv6Prefix [-onlinkPrefix ( YES | NO )][-autonomusPrefix ( YES | NO )] [-depricatePrefix ( YES | NO )][-decrementPrefixLifeTimes ( YES | NO )] [-prefixValideLifeTime ] [-prefixPreferredLifeTime ]
To add configurable parameters to an on-link global prefix by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
add onLinkIPv6Prefix [-onlinkPrefix ( YES | NO )][-autonomusPrefix ( YES | NO )] [-depricatePrefix ( YES | NO )][-decrementPrefixLifeTimes ( YES | NO )]-prefixValideLifeTime ][-prefixPreferredLifeTime ]
To set on-link link IPv6 prefix’s configurable parameters by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type the following:
help set onLinkIPv6Prefix
To bind an on-link link IPv6 prefix’s configurable parameters by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
help bind nd6RAvariables
To show nd6RAvariables by using the NetScaler command line
At the command prompt, type:
help sh nd6RAvariables
