Today we will find out more about IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, using PacketTracer and/or Wireshark.

For the introduce we will start using Wireshark.

At next ask your neighbor to get the IPv6 address of his/her PC (ipconfig /all).

In my case:

2a00:eb0:100:6033:80e:896d:caa8:cb1f


Now start a ping-command in the cmd, with the IPv6-address of the PC next to you:





Now start the capturing in Wireshark:


There you can see, that there is a protocol, named "Neighbor Solicitation" with the IPv6-address of your neighbor.

There you can also find a "Router Advertisement": the router sends periodically a message, that the others can see, where the router is.

Additionally you can analyse it, by clicking the options below.
