IPv4 to IPv6 network migration by Rodney Smith For CS158 4-11-2005
Overview • Requirements for transition to an IPv6 network. • Steps towards migration to an IPv6 network.
Requirements for transition to an IPv6 network • The IPv6 network should perform just as well as the IPv4 network. (ex. Enough memory) • Network Management tools for IPv6 network. (ex. Cisco Works) • No disruption in service. (ex. Enough CPU) • Address allocation.
Steps Towards IPv6 migration IPv6 Address allocation • Obtain IPv6 address space allocation. • Can obtain via Regional Internet Registry. (ex. Ripe NCC) • The more addresses obtained the better but should not be a problem with IPv6
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Plan how addresses will be assigned between network sites. • In IPv4 we would use variable length subnet masks to provide a hierarchical way of assigning addresses • In IPv6 we are not restricted as much and can assign one sized mask to all sites.
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Network Management tools • Must be able to provide a way to monitor IPv6 enabled network with IPv6 enabled mangement tools. • Example of one such tool is Cisco Works
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Transition Path for IPv4 Network • Simple IPv4 Network for Medium to Large networks
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Transition Path for IPv4 Network • Dual-Stack • 6to4 tunnel • Tunnel Broker • Layer 2 VPN
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Transition Path for IPv4 Network • 6PE • Future protocol 6VPE
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Routing Protocol • OSPFv3 • ISIS for IPv6 • BGP-4+ • RIPng (don’t use this!)
Steps Towards IPv6 Migration Enable Endpoints of network • WinXP & Win2k are IPv6 compatible. Enable all endpoints of single site after upgrade of routers. • Make sure you plan and test how this upgrade would occur.
