Hey wim,

This doesn't answer your question (I think Joseph likely already did), but
just FYI you are not limited to PPP for v4 /31s. Although IOS kicks out
warnings, you can even use them on Ethernet, which I sometimes do in
production networks.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi,

In task 5.1 they ask to configure IPv6 between R3 and R2 , this network
should have a subnet mask off /127 . I configured this but I can't ping the
other side which seems logical as an subnet mask off /127 is equal to /31 in
IPv4.

I configured it with a /126 and then it works fine .

In IPv4 you have the possibility to use a /31 mask in PPP , does this
function also exist in IPv6 ? I can't find any info about it ....

thx
wim
