6VPE

IPv6 VPN service over an IPv4 MPLS core, using VPNv6 MP-BGP and VRF-aware IPv6 forwarding (RFC 4659).

Definition

6VPE gives each customer IPv6 VRF routing without requiring the core to run IPv6. The next hop is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address of the PE loopback.

Example

address-family vpnv6 / neighbor 10.255.0.2 activate

Exam tip

6VPE needs only IPv4 in the core.
