IPv6 Network Design and Establishing Contiguous End-to-End Reachability
Some enterprises may be wondering about the best recommendations for how to start their IPv6 journey. A comprehensive IPv6 plan typically starts with an IPv6 business case and getting teams trained on IPv6. The next steps should be to create a high-level IPv6 design and document the network routing design.
IPv6 Address Planning Process for Enterprises
If security teams are unprepared to deal with IPv6 security incidents, then the organization is in jeopardy. Not having a plan to proactively secure IPv6 represents a significant risk to the enterprise. Intentionally or unintentionally ignoring IPv6is irresponsible and could possibly be considered negligence. If they haven’t started to develop a strategy and take action to secure IPv6, then the organization is at risk.
The Business Case for IPv6
Starting with a business case is a great first step in getting teams aligned on the goal of IPv6 deployment and helps organizations prioritize those parts of their networked environments that could derive the greatest benefit from IPv6.
The question is: are you ready to manage it securely and strategically?
For over 30 years, Scott Hogg has helped enterprises–from Fortune 500 companies to government agencies–plan, deploy, and operate IPv6 with minimal disruption.
Without expert guidance, most organizations:
- Underestimate the complexity of address planning
- Leave IPv6 security as an afterthought
- Waste months (or years) redoing poor designs
With the right plan, you can avoid expensive mistakes and deploy IPv6 with confidence.
You are in good company
