How to Set Up and Use an IPv6 Test Lab
You can create a functioning IPv6 test lab so you can learn about and experiment with IPv6 features and functionality. For example, you can use the test lab when developing applications for IPv6 or when porting existing IPv4 applications.
The following illustration shows the configuration of the test lab that you will create.
