RAPID IPv6 ADDRESSING STRATEGY

Get Your IPv6 Addressing
Plan In Two Weeks

A quick project that reduces risk by performing the expertly-guided technical planning and design due diligence. It lays the foundation for the near-term technical designs and the long-term implementation and operations phases.

Enterprises derive a lot of value in a short amount of time from these fast-start IPv6 projects.

Why now

IPv6 has surpassed IPv4 to become the most popular Internet Protocol

All enterprise organizations now recognize the inevitability of the global transition to IPv6. Enterprises must proceed immediately or risk further compressing their IPv6 deployment timelines. However, enterprises may not know how to begin an IPv6 initiative.

IPv6 address planning is one of the first steps in an organization's IPv6 journey. Most enterprise organizations approach an IPv6 initiative with similar phases. Hogg Networking recommends beginning with IPv6 address planning, and we have developed an IPv6 Address Planning Process for Enterprises. This process reduces risk of making any mistakes as it prioritizes simplicity and elegance in the design.

What we review

01
HoggNet will be focusing on the enterprise's business and operational practices, to determine the amount of global unicast IPv6 addresses required for the current and long-term network of environments.
02
HoggNet will review the initial high-level IPv6 network architecture and addressing plan.
03
HoggNet will review the current IT network topology and the long-term network roadmap.
04
HoggNet will review the current security protection measures, zones/realms/enclaves/domains, network boundaries, and current use of address translation.
05
HoggNet will review current IP Address Management (IPAM) software operations.
Project deliverables

What you receive

✓
Develop a high-level IPv6 addressing plan to leverage IPv6's immense supply of globally-unique non-overlapping addresses.
✓
