IPv6 Deployment on Cisco IOS-XE: Dual-Stack Config, OSPFv3, and Prefix Delegation

IPv6 is no longer optional. In this hands-on guide, we walk through everything you need to get IPv6 running on Cisco IOS-XE:

  • SLAAC vs stateful DHCPv6 — when to use each and how to configure both
  • DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation for enterprise edge and branch deployments
  • OSPFv3 in address-family mode with real neighbor and route table output
  • IPv6 ACLs — including the ICMPv6 permits you must not forget
  • Common gotchas: RA flooding, MTU/PMTUD issues, and DAD failures

Every config block uses verified IOS-XE syntax with real show command output.
