Using Cisco’s EEM for path selection in IPv6 networks
In a previous blog I configured and HSRP pair using an entirely IPv6-oriented topology. I demonstrated the lightning quick failover that can be achieved with carefully crafted timers. However, a careful reader might have noticed that I didn’t consider the path BACK to my source of origin in my topology. So let’s address that today. … Continue reading Using Cisco’s EEM for path selection in IPv6 networks
Configuring NTP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks
In my last blog I discussed Configuring HSRP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks. Since it was already on my mind, I decided to continue the IPv6-oriented blogging and show how to configure and verify NTP for IPv6. Let’s see how it works. First, let’s see the topology I am using, shown in figure 1: For … Continue reading Configuring NTP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks
Configuring HSRP for IPv6 on Cisco Networks

After all that waiting, the end result was actually pretty cool. Once I enabled my home router (I happen to be using an Actiontec … Continue reading Yes, you can get IPv6 in your home!
Can I get IPv6 in my home?
32 bits, 64 bits, 128 bits, a dollar, all for IPv6, stand up and holler. Sounds like a snooty football chant, doesn’t it? Yet the cadence is off. Parts of it are way too long. But enough about the down side of IPv6 addresses. Let’s look at the up side. Its approach is inexorable. To … Continue reading Can I get IPv6 in my home?
