Configuration difference between ipv6 and ipv4

1. Configuration Difference Between IPv6 and IPv4
The main configuration difference between the IPv6 and IPv4 services lies in the
configurations on the OLT, MDU, and ONT.
Configuration Differences Between IPv6 and IPv4 on the Huawei OLT
Configurations between IPv6 and IPv4 on the OLT vary in the ACL, security feature, and
IPTV multicast service.
Configuration Difference in Each Scenario
Table 1lists the configuration difference between IPv6 and IPv4 on the OLT in each
scenario. For details about the commands, see the later section.

ACL
ACL configurations on the OLT are different for IPv6 and IPv4 on the network which runs
both IPv4 and IPv6 services, irrespective of the networking scenarios and service
implementation schemes. When configuring basic and advanced IPv6 ACLs, ensure that
the keyword "ipv6" is included in the configuration command. For details, see Table 2

Security Feature
Anti-IP spoofing configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are different on the network which runs
both IPv4 and IPv6 services, irrespective of the networking scenarios and service
implementation schemes. If the IPoE and DHCP protocols are used, DHCP option
configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are also different. For details, see Table 3.
1 The IP addresses in anti-IP spoofing configurations are different for the two services.
2 In the IPv4 configuration, DHCP option is DHCPv4 option 82. In the IPv6 configuration,
DHCP option is DHCPv6 option 18/37.
The DHCP option function is used together with the RAIO function, which enables the
OLT to include physical information (including RID and CID) of the user, such as the
subrack/slot/port. In this way, the BRAS or DHCP server is able to perform user
authentication and tracing. When DHCPv4 is in use, the OLT includes RID and CID to the
option 82 field. When DHCPv6 is in use, the OLT includes the RID to the option 37 field
in the DHCPv6 packet and the CID to the option 18 field. The sub option 7 and sub
option
9 functions of DHCPv4 option 82 are not supported by DHCPv6.

IPTV Multicast Service
The IGMP protocol configurations (used to implement the IPTV multicast service) for
IPv6 and IPv4 on the OLT are different. IPv4 uses the IGMP protocol while IPv6 uses the
MLD protocol (the IGMP protocol for IPv6). The IPv4 multicast service can share VLANs
with the IPv6 multicast service; therefore, you can deploy the IPv6 multicast service in
existing IPv4 MVLANs only by adding IPv6 multicast programs in the IPv4 MVLANs and
in right profiles. The configured parameters such as the bound right profiles and MVLANs
can remain unchanged. For details about the difference of the IGMP commands between
the two services, see Table 4.

Configuration Difference Between IPv6 and IPv4 on the ONT
For the bridging ONT, configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are the same. For the gateway
ONT, the HSI service configurations for IPv6 and IPv4 are different.
Configuring the IPv6 WAN Port on the Gateway ONT
11

12. For IPv6 IPTV multicast service, no extra configuration is required. For the IPv6 HSI
service, the Internet WAN port on the gateway ONT must be configured (only Internet
WAN port supports IPv6). If the gateway ONT uses the IPv6/IPv4 DS scheme, select
IPv4/IPv6 for Protocol Type. If the gateway ONT uses the DS-Lite scheme, select IPv6
for Protocol Type. For details, see Figure 1.
Figure 1 Configuring the IPv6 WAN port
Configuring the IPv6 Address of the LAN Side on the Gateway ONT
The gateway ONT can be configured to allocate IPv6 addresses to the terminals after
IPv6 is introduced. For details, see Figure 2.

13. Configuring the Static IPv6 Route on the Gateway ONT
The gateway ONT can be configured with the static IPv6 route after IPv6 is introduced.
For details, see Figure 3.
