Feature Information for IPv6 on Cable

IPv6 on Cable

Revised: November 16, 2009

First Published: February 14, 2008

Support for the IPv6 on Cable feature is introduced in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA for the Cisco uBR7225VXR, Cisco uBR7246VXR, and Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband routers to extend IP addressing functionality on these Cisco Cable Modem Termination System (CMTS) routers to include support for both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC and later releases, CMTS also supports dual stack on the customer premises equipment (CPE) and IPv6 over subinterfaces.

The IPv6 feature support available in the Cisco IOS software and for the Cisco CMTS routers is extensive. This document provides a comprehensive overview of all of the IPv6 features supported on the Cisco CMTS routers, and their restrictions.

However, the details of every feature are not covered in this document. The areas of IPv6 protocol support for the Cisco CMTS routers discussed in this document are classified by platform-independence or by platform-specific feature support.

•Platform-independent IPv6 features—Describes IPv6 features that are supported in the Cisco IOS software for several other Cisco platforms, and which generally do not have any platform-specific behavior or configuration differences on the Cisco CMTS routers.

–Documentation about the restrictions for these platform-independent features can be found in the "Restrictions for IPv6 on Cable" section.

–Detailed information about these features, including conceptual and task-based configuration information, is documented outside of this feature and in the Cisco IOS software documentation. Detailed information about the location of this related documentation in the Cisco IOS software documentation is described in the "Feature Information for IPv6 on Cable" section.

•Platform-specific IPv6 features—Describes IPv6 features that are specific to the cable technology area and that only apply to the supported Cisco CMTS routers. The cable-specific IPv6 feature support includes new or modified cable features supporting IPv6, and any transparent support of the IPv6 protocol in existing (legacy) cable features on the CMTS router platforms.

–Restrictions for new or existing cable-specific features in support of IPv6 can be found within the documentation of all IPv6 cable restrictions in the "Restrictions for IPv6 on Cable" section.

–Identification of the support of the IPv6 protocol stack in existing cable features is identified in Table 3 in the "Feature Information for IPv6 on Cable" section. The configuration of these legacy cable features is essentially unchanged and is not covered in this document.

–Complete configuration information for new or modified configuration of cable-specific IPv6 features is provided in this document. This information can be found in the "How to Configure IPv6 on Cable" section.

•Differential address/prefix assignment for cable modem (CM) and CPE behind CM

•Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

•Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) cannot operate with IPv6 multicast routing. To use OSPF, you must disable the ipv6 multicast-routing command on the Cisco CMTS routers.

Services and Management Restrictions for IPv6 on Cable

The following areas of IPv6 services and management are not supported by the Cisco CMTS routers:

•IPv6 general prefixes

•IPv6 IOS firewall, including IOS firewall FTP application support

Switching Restrictions for IPv6 on Cable

•IPv6 GRE tunnels in Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) networks

Restrictions for IPv6 Dual Stack CPE Support on the CMTS

The IPv6 Dual Stack CPE Support on the CMTS feature in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC has the following limitations:

•The CMTS must use DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 to assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to a dual stack CPE client.

•The IPv6 functionality on the Cisco uBR10012 router manages the CM and tests the infrastructure for CPE deployment. This release does not support PXF acceleration of IPv6 data packets on the uBR10012 platform. IPv6 data packets from CPE devices are handled by the control processor. Hence, the packets per second (pps) rate is limited to a few kpps per CMTS. 3 kpps of IPv6 traffic on a PRE-2 and 12 kpps of IPv6 traffic on a PRE-4 produces an acceptable load on the Cisco uBR10012 control processor.

Information About IPv6 on Cable

This section includes the following topics:

•Overview of the DOCSIS 3.0 Network Model Supporting IPv6

•Overview of Cable Modem IPv6 Address Provisioning

•Overview of IPv6 Dual Stack CPE Support on the CMTS

•Overview of IPv6 over Subinterfaces

Overview of the DOCSIS 3.0 Network Model Supporting IPv6

Figure 1 illustrates the network model described by the DOCSIS 3.0 MAC and Upper Layer Protocols Interface Specification.

Figure 1 DOCSIS 3.0 Network Model

In this model, the different devices support the following functions and services:

•Customer premises equipment (CPE)—Supports IPv4, IPv6, or dual stack operation.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC and later releases, Cisco CMTS routers support CPE devices provisioned for dual stack operation.

•Cable modem (CM)—Functions as a bridging or eRouter device and supports IPv4, IPv6, or dual stack operation.

•Cable modem termination system (CMTS) router—Works with the CM over the hybrid fiber coaxial cable (HFC) network to provide IPv4 and/or IPv6 network connectivity to the provisioning servers and the core data network behind the CMTS router.

The CMTS router supports IPv6 address assignment, routing, and forwarding of IPv6 multicast and unicast packets.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, the Cisco CMTS routers only support a single DHCPv6 IPv6 address per client CM or CPE.

•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent—Provides management tools to configure and query devices on the network.

•Syslog server—Collects messages from the CM to support its functions.

•Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server—The DOCSIS 3.0 network model supports both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers to control the assignment of IP addresses.

•Time server—Provides the current time to the CM.

•Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP) server—Provides the CM configuration file.

Overview of Cable Modem IPv6 Address Provisioning

Prior to CM registration with a CMTS router, the CMTS router sends a MAC Domain Descriptor (MDD) message to provide information to the CM about its supported IP provisioning mode. You configure the CMTS router provisioning mode using the cable ip-init interface configuration command. For more information, see the "Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for Cable Interfaces and Bundles" section.

Table 2 provides a summary of the types of IP address provisioning and their support by the Cisco CMTS routers for both CM and CPE devices.

The MDD contains an IP initialization parameters type length value (TLV) that defines the IP version, management and alternate provisioning mode, and pre-registration downstream service ID (DSID) that is used by CMs that are capable of downstream traffic filtering.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, the Cisco CMTS routers do not support alternate provisioning mode or pre-registration DSID.

To support the MULPIv3.0 I04 or later version of the DOCSIS 3.0 MAC and Upper Layer Protocols Interface Specification, the CM must attempt IPv6 address acquisition first.

Figure 2 illustrates the message flow between a CM, the CMTS router, and the DHCP server when the CM is requesting an IPv6 address.

Figure 2 Message Flow for CM Provisioning of DHCP IPv6 Address Assignment

1. Link-local address assignment—The CM sends a Neighbor Solicit (NS) message with its link-local address (LLA) to the CMTS router, which starts the duplicate address detection (DAD) process for that LLA. The CM expects no response to the NS message.

2. Router discovery—The CM sends a Router Solicit (RS) message to find the router on the link (all nodes multicast). The CMTS router responds with a Router Advertise (RA) message with the M and O bits set to 1 to instruct the CM to perform stateful address configuration.

Note Cisco CMTS routers do not support SLAAC address assignment.

3. DHCPv6—The CM sends a DHCPv6 Solicit message to the CMTS router to request an IPv6 address. The CMTS router relays this message to the DHCPv6 servers. The DHCPv6 servers send an Advertise message indicating the server's availability.

If the Rapid-Commit option is not used by the CM, then the CM responds to a server's Advertise message with a Request message to select that server, which the CMTS router relays to the DHCPv6 server. The DHCPv6 server returns an IPv6 address, other configuration information, and a network prefix if the modem is configured as an eRouter.

The CM starts the DAD process to verify uniqueness of the IPv6 address that the DHCPv6 server assigns to it.

4. Time of Day (ToD) and TFTP—Once the CM establishes IP connectivity, it requests the current time from the ToD server and sends a request to the TFTP server to download a configuration file to complete its boot process.

Overview of IPv6 Dual Stack CPE Support on the CMTS

In Cisco IOS Release12.2(33) SCA and later releases, IPv6 was added to the CMTS. Most operating systems (OS) deployed at homes support dual stack operation. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC and later releases, CMTS also supports dual stack, which is both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on the CPE. For more information about the IPv6 Dual Stack CPE Support on the CMTS feature, see the Establish IPv6 Network Connectivity section in the DOCSIS 3.0 MAC and Upper Layer Protocols Interface Specification guide.

Note When the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry of an IPv4 address in the dual stack CPE times out, the CMTS deletes the dual stack CPE completely from its client database.

Overview of IPv6 over Subinterfaces

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC, CMTS supports IPv6 over bundle subinterfaces. To configure IPv6 on bundle subinterfaces, see the Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for Cable Interfaces and Bundles section. For a CMTS bundle configuration example, see the IPv6 over Subinterfaces: Example section. To get IPv6 online on subinterfaces, configure IPv6 on bundle subinterfaces and not the bundle. Reset the CMs after the subinterface is configured.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCC, MPLS VPN over subinterfaces for IPv6 is not supported.

How to Configure IPv6 on Cable

This section includes the following tasks:

•Configuring IPv6 Switching Services (Required)

•Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for Cable Interfaces and Bundles (Required)

•Configuring IPv6 Cable Filter Groups (Optional)

•Configuring IPv6 Domain Name Service (Optional)

•Configuring IPv6 Source Verification (Optional)

Configuring IPv6 Switching Services

The CMTS routers support forwarding of unicast and multicast IPv6 traffic using either Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 (CEFv6) or distributed CEFv6 (dCEFv6):

•CEFv6—All CMTS platforms

•dCEFv6—Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router only

The CMTS routers also support Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF), as long as you enable Cisco Express Forwarding switching or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding switching globally on the router. There is no need to configure the input interface for Cisco Express Forwarding switching. As long as Cisco Express Forwarding is running on the router, individual interfaces can be configured with other switching modes.

To configure forwarding of IPv6 traffic using Cisco Express Forwarding or distributed Cisco Express Forwarding (supported on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router only) on the CMTS routers, you must configure forwarding of IPv6 unicast datagrams using the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command, and you must configure an IPv6 address on the bundle interface using the ipv6 address command.

Prerequisites

•You must enable Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv4 globally on the router by using the ip cef or ip cef distributed command before configuring CEFv6 or dCEFv6.

Note The ip cef command is enabled by default on all Cisco CMTS routers. Therefore, you only must configure the command if it has been disabled. However, you must explicitly configure the ip cef distributed command on a Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router if you want to run distributed CEF switching services for IPv4 or IPv6.

•You must configure forwarding of IPv6 unicast datagrams using the ipv6 unicast-routing global configuration command.

•You must configure IPv6 addressing on the cable bundle interface. Anycast addressing is not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA. For more information about configuring IPv6 features on a virtual cable bundle interface, see the "Configuring the Cable Virtual Bundle Interface" section.

•CEF switching is required for Unicast RPF to work.

Restrictions

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, Parallel Express Forwarding (PXF) switching is not supported on the Cisco uBR10012 universal broadband router.

Note In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, the Cisco CMTS routers do not support OSPF with IPv6 multicast routing.

•Proceed to the "Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for Cable Interfaces and Bundles" section.

Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity for Cable Interfaces and Bundles

•Configuring the Cable Virtual Bundle Interface (Required)

•Configuring the IP Provisioning Mode and Bundle on the Cable Interface (Required)

Configuring the Cable Virtual Bundle Interface

The only required IPv6 configuration on a cable line card interface is the IP provisioning mode. The remainder of the IPv6 features are configured at the virtual bundle interface, which is then associated with a particular cable line card interface to establish its configuration.

Most of the IPv6 features that are supported in interface configuration mode (both cable-specific as well as platform-independent IPv6 features) are configured at a cable bundle interface.

The Cisco CMTS routers support IPv6 routing on the bundle interface and map both IPv6 unicast and multicast addresses into the cable bundle forwarding table, for packet forwarding.

Each bundle interface has a unique link-local address (LLA) to support link-local traffic when IPv6 is enabled. The Cisco CMTS routers can support a maximum of 40 active bundle interfaces, which also translates to a maximum of 40 active IPv6-enabled bundle interfaces.

Restrictions

All multicast traffic is flooded onto bundle member interfaces.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface bundle n

4. ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length [eui-64]

5. ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length link-local

6. ipv6 enable

7. cable ipv6 source-verify

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

enable
Example:

Router> enable

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface bundle n
Example:

Router(config)# interface bundle 1

Specifies the cable bundle interface and enters interface configuration mode, where n specifies the number of the bundle interface.

Step 4

ipv6 address ipv6-prefix/prefix-length [eui-64]
Example:

Router(config-if)# ipv6 address 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64 eui-64

Specifies an IPv6 network assigned to the interface and enables IPv6 processing on the interface. The ipv6 address eui-64 command configures site-local and global IPv6 addresses with an interface identifier (ID) in the low-order 64 bits of the IPv6 address. You only need to specify the 64-bit network prefix for the address; the last 64 bits are automatically computed from the interface ID.

Step 5

ipv6 address ipv6-address/prefix-length link-local
Example:

Router(config-if)# ipv6 address

FE80::260:3EFF:FE11:6770 link-local

(Optional) Specifies an IPv6 address assigned to the interface and enables IPv6 processing on the interface. The ipv6 address link-local command configures a link-local address on the interface that is used instead of the link-local address that is automatically configured when IPv6 is enabled on the interface (using the ipv6 enable command).

Step 6

ipv6 enable
Example:

Router(config-if)# ipv6 enable

Automatically configures an IPv6 link-local address on the interface while also enabling the interface for IPv6 processing. The link-local address can be used only to communicate with nodes on the same link.

Step 7

cable ipv6 source-verify
Example:

Router(config-if)# cable ipv6 source-verify

(Optional) Enables source verification of IPv6 packets received by a cable interface upstream on the Cisco CMTS routers.

What To Do Next

•See the "Feature Information for IPv6 on Cable" section to configure the desired platform-independent IPv6 features on the bundle interface, such as Neighbor Discovery and DHCPv6 features.

•Proceed to the "Configuring the IP Provisioning Mode and Bundle on the Cable Interface" section.

Configuring the IP Provisioning Mode and Bundle on the Cable Interface

In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, the CMTS routers allow you to configure cable interfaces to support CMs provisioned for both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing support (known as "dual stack"), only IPv4 addressing, or only IPv6 addressing. Prior to CM registration, the CMTS router sends its supported provisioning mode to the CM in the MDD message.

In addition to configuring the provisioning mode on the cable interface, you must also associate the cable interface with a cable bundle. You perform most of the other IPv6 feature configuration at the bundle interface.

Note This section describes only the commands associated with establishing IPv6 support on a CMTS router. Other cable interface commands that apply but are optional are not shown, such as to configure upstream and downstream features.

Prerequisites

Configuration of a bundle interface is required.

Restrictions

Alternative Provisioning mode is not supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. enable

2. configure terminal

3. interface cable {slot/subslot | slot/subslot/port}

4. cable ip-init {dual-stack | ipv4 | ipv6}

5. cable bundle n

DETAILED STEPS

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

interface cable {slot/port | slot/subslot/port}
Example:

Router(config)# interface cable 5/0/1

Specifies the cable interface line card, where:

•slot—Specifies the chassis slot number of the cable interface line card.

•subslot—(Cisco uBR10012 only) Specifies the secondary slot number of the cable interface line card. Valid subslots are 0 or 1.

•port—Specifies the downstream port number.

Valid values for these arguments are dependent on your CMTS router and cable interface line card. Refer to the hardware documentation for your router chassis and cable interface line card for supported slot and port numbering.

Step 4

cable ip-init {dual-stack | ipv4 | ipv6}
Example:

Router(config-if)# cable ip-init ipv6

Specifies the IP provisioning mode supported by the cable interface, where:

•dual-stack—Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.

•ipv4—Supports IPv4 addressing only.

•ipv6—Supports IPv6 addressing only.

Step 5

cable bundle n
Example:

Router(config)# cable bundle 1

Associates the cable interface with a configured virtual bundle interface, where n specifies the number of the bundle interface.

What To Do Next

•Proceed to configuring any other cable interface features that you want to support, such as upstream and downstream features. For more information about the other cable interface features, refer to the Cisco IOS CMTS Cable Software Configuration Guide.

•Proceed to configure other optional IPv6 cable features. See the optional tasks in the "How to Configure IPv6 on Cable" section.

Configuring IPv6 Cable Filter Groups

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA extends the CMTS router IPv4 cable filter group capability to add support for IPv6 filter options.

Cable Filter Groups and the DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB

Cable subscriber management is a DOCSIS 1.1 specification, which can be established using the following configuration methods:

•CMTS router configuration (via command-line interface [CLI])

•SNMP configuration

•DOCSIS 1.1 configuration file (TLVs 35, 36, and 37)

This section describes the IPv6 cable filter group feature support of the packet filtering portion of the DOCSIS Subscriber Management MIB (DOCS-SUBMGMT-MIB) using configuration commands on the CMTS routers. This IPv6 cable filter group support extends filter classifiers with IPv6 addressing options for CM and CPE traffic, but is independent of DOCSIS IPv6 classifiers, which are used to match packets to service flows.

Configuration of IPv6 cable filter groups on the CMTS routers is supported according to the following guidelines:

•A cable filter group consists of a set of cable filter group commands that share the same group ID.

•Separate indexes can be used to define different sets of filters for the same group ID. This can be used to define both IPv4 and IPv6 filters to the same filter group.

•CMs can be associated with one upstream and one downstream filter group.

–Upstream traffic—All traffic coming from CMs is evaluated against the assigned upstream filter group that is configured by the cable submgmt default filter-group cm upstream command.

–Downstream traffic—All traffic going to CMs is evaluated against the assigned downstream filter group that is configured by the cable submgmt default filter-group cm downstream command.

•CPEs can be associated with one upstream and one downstream filter group.

–Upstream traffic—All traffic coming from CPEs is evaluated against the assigned upstream filter group that is configured by the cable submgmt default filter-group cpe upstream command.

–Downstream traffic—All traffic going to CPEs is evaluated against the assigned downstream filter group that is configured by the cable submgmt default filter-group cpe downstream command.

•There are certain CMTS configuration requirements if the DOCSIS 1.1 CM configuration file is not used to activate cable subscriber management for the CPE. Specifically, if the docsSubMgtCpeActive object is not provisioned using TLVs 35, 36, and 37 in the DOCSIS 1.1 CM configuration file, then the object uses the docsSubMgtCpeActiveDefault object setting, which is false. This means that cable subscriber management functionality is disabled. In this case, you must activate the functionality by specifying the cable submgmt default active global configuration command on the CMTS router.

Note Because TLVs 35, 36, and 37 do not apply to DOCSIS 1.0 CM configuration files, the only way to enable cable subscriber management for a DOCSIS 1.0 CM is to configure it explicitly on the CMTS router and activate it by using the cable submgmt default active global configuration command.

Prerequisites

You must create the cable filter group before you assign it to a CM or CPE upstream or downstream.

Restrictions

•Chained IPv6 headers are not supported.

•An individual filter group index cannot be configured to support both IPv4 and IPv6 versions at the same time. If you need to support IPv4 and IPv6 filters for the same filter group, then you must use a separate index number with the same filter group ID, and configure one index as ip-version ipv4, and the other index as ip-version ipv6.

•Only a single upstream and a single downstream filter group can be assigned for CM traffic.

•Only a single upstream and a single downstream filter group can be assigned to CPEs attached to a CM such that all CPEs behind a CM share a common filter group.

•For the filter group to work for CMs, a CM must re-register after the CMTS router is configured for the filter group.

•If you do not provision TLVs 35, 36, and 37 in the DOCSIS CM configuration file, then you must activate the functionality by specifying the cable submgmt default active global configuration command on the CMTS router.

Enables privileged EXEC mode.

•Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2

configure terminal
Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 3

cable filter group group-id index index-num dest-port port-num
Example:

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 dest-port 69

(Optional) Specifies the TCP/UDP destination port number that should be matched. The valid range is 0 to 65535. The default value matches all TCP/UDP port numbers (IPv4 and IPv6 filters).

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 ip-version ipv6

Specifies that this is an IP version 6 filter group.

Step 7

cable filter group group-id index index-num match-action {accept | drop}
Example:

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 match-action drop

(Optional) Specifies the action that should be taken for packets that match this filter (IPv4 and IPv6 filters):

•accept—Packets that match the filter are accepted (default).

•drop—Packets that match the filter are dropped.

Step 8

Example:

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 status inactive

(Optional) Enables or disables the filter (IPv4 and IPv6 filters):

•active—Enables the filter immediately (default).

•inactive —Disables the filter immediately.

Note You must create a filter group using at least one of the other options before you can use this command to enable or disable the filter.

(Optional) Specifies the TCP flag mask and value to be matched (IPv4 and IPv6 filters):

•flags-mask—8-bit value expressed in hexadecimal notation. The valid range is 0x0 through 0x3F.

•flags-value—8-bit value expressed in hexadecimal notation. The valid range is 0x0 through 0x3F.

Step 11

cable filter group group-id index index-num v6-dest-address ipv6-address
Example:

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 v6-dest-address 2001:0DB8:0:1:FFFF:1234::5

(Optional) Specifies the IPv6 destination address that should be matched using the format X:X:X:X::X. (IPv6 filters only)

Step 12

cable filter group group-id index index-num v6-dest-pfxlen prefix-length
Example:

(Optional) Specifies the IPv6 source address that should be matched using the format X:X:X:X::X (IPv6 filters only).

Step 14

cable filter group group-id index index-num v6-src-pfxlen prefix-length
Example:

Router(config)# cable filter group 1 index 1 v6-src-pfxlen 48

(Optional) Specifies the length of the network portion of the IPv6 source address. The valid range is 0 to 128 (IPv6 filters only).

Step 15

cable submgmt default filter-group {cm | cpe} {downstream | upstream} group-id
Example:

Router(config)# cable submgmt default filter-group cm upstream 1

Applies a defined filter group (by specifying its group-id) to either a CM or its CPE devices, for downstream or upstream traffic.

Step 16

cable submgmt default active
Example:

Router(config)# cable submgmt default active

(Required if you do not provision TLVs 35, 36, and 37 in the DOCSIS 1.1 CM configuration file)

Enables filters and allows the CMTS to manage the CPE devices for a particular CM (sets the docsSubMgtCpeActiveDefault attribute to TRUE).

Examples

The following example creates an IPv6 filter group with ID 254 and an index number of 128. The ip-version ipv6 keywords must be configured to create the IPv6 filter group; otherwise, the default is an IPv4 filter group:
configure terminal
cable filter group 254 index 128 v6-src-address 2001:0DB8:0:ABCD::1
cable filter group 254 index 128 v6-src-pfxlen 48
cable filter group 254 index 128 v6-dest-address 2001:0DB8:0:1:FFFF:1234::5
cable filter group 254 index 128 v6-dest-pfxlen 64
cable filter group 254 index 128 ip-version ipv6
cable filter group 254 index 128 match-action drop
cable submgmt default filter-group cm upstream 254
This group filters CM upstream traffic and drops any packets with an IPv6 source address of 2001:33::20B:BFFF:FEA9:741F (with network prefix of 128) destined for an IPv6 address of 2001:1::224 (with network prefix of 128).

All of the cable filter group commands are associated by their group ID of 254 (and index of 128), and the cable submgmt default filter-group command applies the corresponding filter group ID of 254 to CM upstream traffic.

To monitor your cable filter group configuration, use forms of the show cable filter command as shown in the following examples. In these output examples, the output from the show cable filter, show cable filter group 254, and show cable filter group 254 index 128 commands all display the same information because there is currently only a single filter group and index defined.

Note The "Use Verbose" string appears in the output area of the SrcAddr/mask and DestAddr/Mask fields suggesting use of the show cable filter group verbose form of the command to display the complete IPv6 address.

Troubleshooting Tips

You should configure the cable filter group commands prior to applying a filter group using the cable submgmt default filter-group command. Failure to do so results in the following message, and an association to a filter group that is undefined:
Router(config)# cable submgmt default filter-group cm upstream 100
Default value set to a nonexistent filter-group 100.
Configuring IPv6 Domain Name Service

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA introduces the domain name service (DNS) capability for devices using IPv6 addressing on the Cisco CMTS routers. DNS simplifies the identification of cable devices by associating a hostname with what can often be a complex 128-bit IPv6 address. The hostname can then be used in place of the IPv6 address within the CMTS router CLI that supports use of hostnames.

There are two separate DNS caches supported on a CMTS router—an IOS DNS cache and a cable-specific DNS cache that stores IPv6 addresses learned by the CMTS router for CMs and CPEs.

In this phase of the IPv6 DNS service on cable, the DNS server is queried for domain name information as needed when you use the show cable modem domain-name command. When you use this command, the following actions take place:

1. The CMTS router checks whether CMs are online. If a CM is online, the CMTS router uses the corresponding IPv6 address assigned to the CM and looks up its domain name from the IOS DNS cache.

2. If no match is found, the CMTS router sends a DNS-QUERY message with the IPv6 address of the CM to the DNS server, which tries to resolve the domain name.

3. When the DNS reply is received, the CMTS router stores the domain name in the IOS DNS cache for each IPv6 address.

4. The CMTS router also stores the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) that is replied by the DNS server in the cable-specific DNS cache.

The following platform-independent Cisco IOS software commands are supported using hostnames by the CMTS router for IPv6 DNS on cable:

•connect

•ping ipv6

•show hosts

•telnet

•traceroute

Prerequisites

•A DNS server must be configured.

•You must identify and assign the host names to the IPv6 addresses. If you are using the Cisco DNS server, use the ip host global configuration command to map hostnames to IP addresses.

•You must configure the DNS server using the ip name-server global configuration command before use of DNS host names (or domains) are available in the supported commands.

•The show cable modem domain-name command must be run first on the Route Processor (RP) of the CMTS router before any domain name can be used as part of a cable command.

For more information about configuring these prerequisites and related IP domain configuration options, refer to the "Mapping Host Names to IP Addresses" section in the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide at:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800ca75b.html#wp1001317

Restrictions

•DNS for cable devices using IPv4 addressing is not supported.

•Due to column size limitations within the command-line interface (CLI), the domain name display is limited to 32 characters. Therefore, the entire domain name cannot always be seen in CMTS router command output.

•Only those cable devices where IPv6 address learning takes place are supported, such as acquiring an IPv6 address through DHCPv6 or the IPv6 (ND) process.

•The cable-specific DNS cache is only updated when you use the show cable modem domain-name command on the Route Processor (RP). A DNS-QUERY can only be sent on the RP using this command, therefore the DNS cache cannot update if you use the show cable modem domain-name command on a line card console. The output is displayed on the RP only.

•The cable-specific DNS cache does not store partially qualified domain names, only FQDNs are stored.

•The cable-specific DNS cache is not associated with the timeouts that apply to the IOS DNS cache. Therefore, a cable-specific DNS cache entry is not removed when an IOS DNS cache timeout occurs for that device. The cable-specific DNS cache is only updated when you use the show cable modem domain-name command.

•The CMTS router supports storage of only one domain name per IPv6 address in the cable-specific DNS cache.

•Domain names for the link local address are not supported.

Configuring IPv6 Source Verification

Typically, the IPv6 source verification feature is enabled on a cable bundle interface. From there, the cable interface is associated with the virtual bundle interface to acquire its configuration.

When you enable IPv6 source verification on a cable line card interface, the source verification routine is run to verify the MAC-SID-IP binding of the packet. If the source verification succeeds, the packet is forwarded. If the verification fails, then packet is dropped.

When a CM is operating as a bridge modem device, then the CMTS router verifies the entire IPv6 address for that CM and the CPEs behind that CM.

When a CM is operating as a router modem device, then the CMTS router verifies only the network prefix for that CM and the CPEs behind that CM. To be successful, all cable modem routers must have different prefixes assigned to them.

The cable ipv6 source-verify command only controls the source verification of IPv6 packets. For IPv4-based source verification, you must use the cable source-verify command, which also supports different options.

For more information about how to configure IPv6 source verification on a bundle interface, see the "Configuring the Cable Virtual Bundle Interface" section.

Restrictions

On the Cisco uBR10012 router in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SCA, source verification of IPv6 packets occurs only on packets in the process-switched path of the Route Processor (RP).

IPv6 Access Services

IPv6 Access Services: DHCP for IPv6 Relay Agent

12.2(33)SCA

A DHCP relay agent, which may reside on the client's link, is used to relay messages between the client and server.

Platform-Independent Cisco IOS Software Documentation

The following sections of the "Implementing DHCP for IPv6" chapter of the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library provide information about this feature:

•How to Implement DHCP for IPv6

•Configuring the DHCPv6 Relay Agent

IPv6 Access Services: DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

12.2(33)SCA

The DHCP for IPv6 prefix delegation feature can be used to manage link, subnet, and site addressing changes. DHCP for IPv6 can be used in environments to deliver stateful and stateless information.

Platform-Independent Cisco IOS Software Documentation

The following sections of the "Implementing DHCP for IPv6" chapter of the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library provide information about this feature:

•DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

•Configuring the DHCP for IPv6 Server Function: Example

•Configuring the DHCP for IPv6 Client Function: Example

IPv6 Access Services: Source Verification

12.2(33)SCA

Enabling IPv6 source verification on a cable line card interface allows the source verification routine to verify the MAC-SID-IP binding of the packet. If the source verification succeeds, the packet is forwarded. If the verification fails, then the packet is dropped.

Platform-Specific Documentation for the Cisco CMTS Routers

For information about configuring IPv6 source verification, see the "Configuring IPv6 Source Verification" section.

IPv6 Access Services: Stateless DHCPv6

12.2(33)SCA

Stateless DHCP for IPv6 allows DHCP for IPv6 to be used for configuring a node with parameters that do not require a server to maintain any dynamic state for the node.

Platform-Independent Cisco IOS Software Documentation

The following sections of the "Implementing DHCP for IPv6" chapter of the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library provide information about this feature:

•DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation

•Configuring Nodes Without Prefix Delegation

•Configuring the Stateless DHCPv6 Function

•Configuring the Stateless DHCPv6 Function: Example

IPv6 Basic Connectivity

Syslog over IPv6

12.2(33)SCA

The Cisco IOS syslog process in IPv6 allows users to log syslog messages to external syslog servers and hosts with IPv6 addresses.

Platform-Independent Cisco IOS Software Documentation

The Simplified IPv6 Packet Header section of the "Implementing IPv6 Addressing and Basic Connectivity" chapter and the Configuring Syslog over IPv6 section of the "Implementing IPv6 for Network Management" chapter of the Cisco IOS IPv6 Configuration Library provide information about this feature.

IPv6 Unicast

12.2(33)SCA
