Prerequisites
Prerequisites
Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)SNI or a later release that supports the IPv6 over MPLS: 6PE and 6VPE
feature must be installed previously on the Cisco ASR 901 Series Aggregation Services Router.
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) in provider backbone devices.
MPLS with Virtual Private Network (VPN) code in provider devices with VPN provider edge (PE)
devices.
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) in all devices providing a VPN service.
Cisco Express Forwarding switching in every MPLS-enabled device.
Restrictions
The following restrictions are applicable for the IPv6 over MPLS: 6PE and 6VPE feature on the Cisco IOS
Release 15.2(2)SNI.
All the existing MPLS and IPv6 restrictions are applicable, as the base infrastructure of IPv6 and IPv4
MPLS remains the same.
6PE and 6VPE is supported only on the SVI interfaces.
The number of global VRFs supported is the same as that of IPv4, as both the IPv4 and IPv6 VPN
Routing and Forwarding (VRF) share the resources from the global VRF pool.
The number of IPv6 VRFs supported is restricted to 113, though the maximum number of configurable
VRFs are 127.
For the single label per prefix mode allocation, the 6PE and 6VPE scale is limited by the number of
labels available in the box (4000 labels).
Supports only static routes and BGP for IPv6 in VRF context.
Feature Overview
The IPv6 over MPLS: 6PE and 6VPE feature enables the service providers running an MPLS/IPv4 infrastructure
to offer IPv6 services without any major changes in the infrastructure. This feature offers the following options
to the service providers:
Connect to other IPv6 networks accessible across the MPLS core
Provide access to IPv6 services and resources that service provider provides
Provide IPv6 VPN services without going for complete overhaul of existing MPLS/IPv4 core
6PE and 6VPE uses the existing MPLS/IPv4 core infrastructure for IPv6 transport. It enables IPv6 sites to
communicate with each other over an MPLS/IPv4 core network using MPLS label switched paths (LSPs).
This feature relies heavily on multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) extensions in the IPv4 network
configuration on the provider edge (PE) router to exchange IPv6 reachability information (in addition to an
2

Benefits of 6PE and 6VPE
MPLS label) for each IPv6 address prefix. Edge routers are configured as dual-stack, running both IPv4 and
IPv6, and use the IPv4 mapped IPv6 address for IPv6 prefix reachability exchange.
Benefits of 6PE and 6VPE

6PE and 6VPE offers the following benefits to service providers:
Minimal operational cost and riskNo impact on existing IPv4 and MPLS services.
Only provider edge routers require upgradeA 6PE and 6VPE router can be an existing PE router or
a new one dedicated to IPv6 traffic.
No impact on IPv6 customer edge (CE) routersThe ISP can connect to any CE router running Static,
IGP or EGP.
Production services readyAn ISP can delegate IPv6 prefixes.
IPv6 introduction into an existing MPLS service6PE and 6VPE routers can be added at any time.
IPv6 on Provider Edge Routers

6PE is a technique that provides global IPv6 reachability over IPv4 MPLS. It allows one shared routing table
for all other devices. 6PE allows IPv6 domains to communicate with one another over the IPv4 without an
explicit tunnel setup, requiring only one IPv4 address per IPv6 domain.
While implementing 6PE, the provider edge routers are upgraded to support 6PE, while the rest of the core
network is not touched (IPv6 unaware). This implementation requires no reconfiguration of core routers
because forwarding is based on labels rather than on the IP header itself. This provides a cost-effective strategy
for deploying IPv6.The IPv6 reachability information is exchanged by PE routers using multiprotocol Border
Gateway Protocol (mp-iBGP) extensions.
6PE relies on mp-iBGP extensions in the IPv4 network configuration on the PE router to exchange IPv6
reachability information in addition to an MPLS label for each IPv6 address prefix to be advertised. PE routers
are configured as dual stacks, running both IPv4 and IPv6, and use the IPv4 mapped IPv6 address for IPv6
prefix reachability exchange. The next hop advertised by the PE router for 6PE and 6VPE prefixes is still the
IPv4 address that is used for IPv4 L3 VPN routes. A value of ::FFFF: is prepended to the IPv4 next hop, which
is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
The following figure illustrates the 6PE topology.

IPv6 on VPN Provider Edge Routers

6VPE is a mechanism to use the IPv4 backbone to provide VPN IPv6 services. It takes advantage of operational
IPv4 MPLS backbones, eliminating the need for dual-stacking within the MPLS core. This translates to savings
in operational costs and addresses the security limitations of the 6PE approach. 6VPE is more like a regular
IPv4 MPLS-VPN provider edge, with an addition of IPv6 support within VRF. It provides logically separate
routing table entries for VPN member devices.
Components of MPLS-based 6VPE Network

VPN route target communities A list of all other members of a VPN community.
Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) peering of VPN community PE routers Propagates VRF reachability
information to all members of a VPN community.
4

Supported Features
MPLS forwarding Transports all traffic between all VPN community members across a VPN
service-provider network.
In the MPLS-VPN model a VPN is defined as a collection of sites sharing a common routing table. A customer
site is connected to the service provider network by one or more interfaces, where the service provider associates
each interface with a VPN routing tableknown as the VRF table.
The following figure illustrates an MPLS VPN network.
For more conceptual information on 6PE and 6VPE, see the IPv6 VPN over MPLS guide in the MPLS: Layer
3 VPNs Configuration Guide.
Supported Features
The following 6PE and 6VPE features are supported on the Cisco ASR 901 router effective with Cisco IOS
Release 15.2(2) SNI:
IPv6 VRF support Enabled for supporting 6VPE
MPLS VPN 6VPE and 6PE Provides IPV6 reachability for IPv6 edge routers across an MPLS network
backbone running an IPv4 control plane, without making changes to the software on the MPLS P routers.
6VPE and 6PE with QoS Supports QoS provisioning in 6PE and 6VPE networks by using existing
QoS infrastructure and configuration.
MPLS VPN - VRF command for IPv4 and IPv6 VPN Supports commands that allows users to enable
IPv4 and IPv6 in the same VRF.

Cisco ASR 901 data plane support.

How to Configure IPv6 over MPLS: 6PE and 6VPE

This section describes how to configure IPv6 over MPLS: 6PE and 6VPE feature:
Configuring 6PE
Ensure that you configure 6PE on PE routers participating in both the IPv4 cloud and IPv6 clouds. To learn
routes from both clouds, you can use any routing protocol supported on IOS (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP,
Static).
BGP running on a PE router should establish (IPv4) neighborhood with BGP running on other PEs.
Subsequently, it should advertise the IPv6 prefixes learnt from the IPv6 table to the neighbors. The IPv6
prefixes advertised by BGP would automatically have IPv4-encoded-IPv6 addresses as the nexthop-address
in the advertisement.
To configure 6PE, complete the following steps:
