in CCNA & CCENT
hi guys, thought i would implement some ipv6 stuff on my lab, taking exam this week. read all the theory etc, know how to do it, so thot i'd implement. but hmmmmm, when i go to add the ipv6 unicast-routing command i get the %unrecognised command. when i try and add an ipv6 ip address %unrecognised command.

So i thot id play about with packet tracer and the 2620's same thing, but with the 2811's it works fine??

checked cisco's website and it says it supports ipv6 on ios 12.4 which is what theyre running.

any ideas?

    Packet Tracer is a simulator, so there is some functionality missing. For the most comprehensive experience I recommend GNS3 or actual lab gear. You won't find much that Packet Tracer can't handle, but when you do it's usually important stuff.

    check the release notes on the IOS specific to the 2610. I know its some old gear and from my recollection it doesn't support IPv6. I could be wrong though...

    IPv6 is only available [according to to Cisco] with:

    Advanced IP Services
    Advanced Enterprise

    It appears if you're running IP Base, IP Voice, Advanced Security, etc...that IPv6 is not supported.

    This is the reason I try to run Advanced IP Services on all my routers. Advanced Enterprise is also an option, but it seems the only thing it adds is support for antiquated protocols few use anymore.

    I've just fired up my 2610; it supports the IPv6 commands fine. Here's the output info: C2600-IK9O3S3-M, Version 12.3(26)

    Apparently 12.3 and 12.4T have completely different packaging. 12.3 has packages for every conceivable combination of protocols, whereas 12.4T has only 8 Packages aimed at four different types of users (Basic R&S, Voice, Security, and Users of Outdated Protocols).

    You apparently have: IP/FW/IDS PLUS IPSEC 3DES BASIC which appears to be some kind of Security Image which supports IPv6

    For earlier than 12.4T, you'll probably have to check the Cisco Feature Navigator to be absolutely sure since the naming conventions were such a mess.

    You may want to download Packet tracer.. 5.33 and 6.01 supports PV6. Should be enough to get you through CCNA
