IPv6 Interface Addressing and Neighbor Discovery
Build comfort with IPv6 interface configuration, link-local behavior, and first-hop verification.
Lab challenge
Stand up IPv6 connectivity without falling back to IPv4 thinking or skipping verification.
Progression
Enable IPv6, assign addresses, inspect neighbor discovery, then verify reachability with IPv6 show and ping commands.
