IPV6 Configuration in Gns3:

IPV6 OSPF Configuration on Gns3:

This is the simple IPV6 tutorial for configuring IPV6 and OSPF for IPV6 on Gns3.  You must enable IPV6 routing on router by using command “ipv6 unicast-routing”, all other command are same like normal IP configuration but just replace IP with IPV6 in all commands. I use the c7200 IOS for this lab. Configure the topology as below:

R1 Configuration:
R1(config)#  ipv6 unicast-routing
R1(config)#  ipv6 router ospf 1
 R1(config-router)#  router-id 1.1.1.1
R1(config-router)# exit
R1(config-if)#  interface Loopback1
R1(config-if)#  ipv6 address 2001:211:10:1::1/64
 R1(config-if)#  ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
R1(config-if)#  interface Serial1/0
R1(config-if)#  ipv6 address 2001:210:10:1::2/64
R1(config-if)#  ipv6 ospf 1 area 0

R2 Configuration:

R2(config)#  ipv6 unicast-routing
R2(config)#  ipv6 router ospf 1
 R2(config-router)#  router-id 2.2.2.2
R2(config-router)# exit
R2(config-if)#  interface Loopback1
R2(config-if)#  ipv6 address 2001:211:10:1::2/64
 R2(config-if)#  ipv6 ospf 1 area 0
R2(config-if)#  interface Serial1/0
R2(config-if)#  ipv6 address 2001:210:10:1::1/64
R2(config-if)#  ipv6 ospf 1 area 0

IPV6 Verification Commands:
R# show ipv6 route
R# SHOW ipv6 interface brief
R# SHOW ipv6 ospf 1 neighbor

    1. Make sure you have enabled IPv6 routing by following command:
      R1(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
      still if you are unable to run IPv6 then you need some updated IOS with IPv6 features mostly i have tried 7200 series IOS for IPv6 you can download IOS for GNs3 from this link,,!

  3. getting this things internet protocol disable
    how can fix it

    R1#show ip int
    R1#show ip interface lo
    R1#show ip interface loopback 0
    Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up
    Internet protocol processing disabled
    R1#

    1. Enable the IPv6 routing by using command "ipv6 unicast-routing" then i think you dont have assign any IPV6 address to interface..first assign IPv6 address to that interface..
