The below given diagram is a Static NAT implementation. To ping from an IPv4 client to an IPv6 client across the router we have to ping the IPv4-mapped address of the corresponding IPv6 client.
For ex:- To ping from PC3 to PC1 we type the command Ping 192.168.2.2 which is the IPv4 mapped address of PC1.
But what we want to do is directly enter the IPv6 address when pinging from PC3 to PC1. ex:- Ping 2001:DB8:AAAA:B::206. The problem is that it is not able to ping by this command.
So is there any technique by which we can communicate from an IPv4 to IPv6 without the use of mapped addresses. The mapping should only take place within the router automatically.
Thank You in advance.
ping
to an IPv6 address from PC3 is not going to utilize IPv4. Unless you run a dual-stack on PC3, you can't directly ping an IPv6 address.
