IPv6 Configuration on Juniper

Juniper IPv6 Configuration Example

In this Juniper IPv6 Configuration Example, we will configure IPv6 on Juniper Routers. For our IPv6 Configuration Example, we will use the below IPv6 Topology. In this topology, we will configure IPv6 addresses on each interface of the routers one by one.

Router 1

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:aaaa::1/64 (To Router 2)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:bbbb::1/64 (To Router 3)

Router 2

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:aaaa::2/64 (To Router 1)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:cccc::1/64 (To Router 3)

Router 3

Interface Ge 1/1/1 2001:bbbb::2/64 (To Router 1)
Interface Ge 1/1/2 2001:cccc::2/64 (To Router 2)

Let’s configure each Router with the above Global Unicast IPv6 addresses. We will configure these addresses on each interface of the routers.

Juniper IPv6 Configuration

Below, we will configure firstly router 1 and then we will configure router 2 and router 3. We will configure the Global IPv6 Addresses of the interfaces on these Juniper Routers. After configuration the Global Unicast addresses on each interface, we will use commit check to check our confiugration and then we will use commit comment to commit our configuration.
