<b data-start=”161″ data-end=”188″><strong data-start=”170″ data-end=”188″>Configure IPv6

macOS supports both <strong data-start=”210″ data-end=”233″>automatic (default) and <strong data-start=”238″ data-end=”248″>manual IPv6 configuration.

• Click <strong data-start=”506″ data-end=”548″>Apple Menu → System Settings → Network.

• Select your active interface (e.g., <strong data-start=”591″ data-end=”600″>Wi-Fi or <strong data-start=”604″ data-end=”616″>Ethernet).

• Click <strong data-start=”630″ data-end=”641″>Details (or <strong data-start=”646″ data-end=”658″>Advanced on older versions).

• Go to the <strong data-start=”694″ data-end=”704″>TCP/IP tab.

• Under <strong data-start=”721″ data-end=”739″>Configure IPv6, choose <strong data-start=”748″ data-end=”765″>Automatically (default).

• Click <strong data-start=”788″ data-end=”802″>OK → Apply.

An <strong data-start=”289″ data-end=”315″>IPv6 multicast address identifies a <strong data-start=”329″ data-end=”352″>group of interfaces (usually on different devices).<br data-start=”384″ data-end=”387″> When a packet is sent to a multicast address, <strong data-start=”433″ data-end=”451″>all interfaces that belong to that group <strong data-start=”478″ data-end=”489″>receive the packet.

IPv6 does <strong data-start=”513″ data-end=”544″>not use broadcast addresses like IPv4 does — instead, multicast addresses perform that role more efficiently.

IPv6 is a <strong data-start=”361″ data-end=”387″>128-bit address system, meaning it can provide approximately<br data-start=”425″ data-end=”428″> <strong data-start=”428″ data-end=”462″>3.4 × 10³⁸ unique IP addresses — that’s <strong data-start=”472″ data-end=”491″>340 undecillion addresses!<br data-start=”502″ data-end=”505″> This is a massive improvement over IPv4, which uses <strong data-start=”557″ data-end=”577″>32-bit addresses and can only provide about <strong data-start=”605″ data-end=”620″>4.3 billion unique addresses.

why do we need IPV6 is because of IPV4 address exhaustion, improve network efficiency ,and for better performance.

<strong data-start=”91″ data-end=”129″>IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the <strong data-start=”137″ data-end=”155″>newest version of the Internet Protocol — the system that allows devices to identify and communicate with each other over a network.

It was developed by the <strong data-start=”299″ data-end=”341″>IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to <strong data-start=”345″ data-end=”361″>replace IPv4, which is running out of addresses.
why do we need, is because of Pv4 Address Exhaustion, and the growth of IOT

what is mld in ipv6

[Andrew Ikpefua]

IPV6 has lasted long is because of the CGN(carrier Grade NAT), Private IP Addressing (RFC 1918),

Classless Inter-Domain Routing and (CIDR, Dynamic IP Assignment (DHCP). it is not sustainable is because of Address exhaustion, complex Network management. limited scalability and performance and compatibility issues.
