IPv6 Workshop APAN Aug John Barlow Advanced Communication Services Coordinator, GrangeNet

Goals Design and set up a functioning, globally connected, IPv6 network. After the workshop you should be able to engineer IPv6 networks within your campus, division or faculty; and to help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops. Topics covered: –Router Configuration: How do you turn on IPv6 routing on a router? –BGP Configuration: Configure BGP sessions between the campus’ and core routers. –Addressing: How addressing works, what types of addressing schemes are possible, how allocations are made, and current best practices. –Bind configuration: Populate a DNS server with AAAA records, forward and reverse lookups, best practices, bind versions required, and potential pitfalls. –Application Space: Some students will set up IPv6-aware servers, including Telnet, HTTP, SSH and SMTP. –Transition Issues: How do you make your IPv6 network IPv4-aware and vice versa? How extensively can you do dual stack implementations and where do you need to do translation? –Discussion Issues: Multihoming, auto-configuration, network administration and network management. –Services: What IPv6 services should a campus or RNO currently offer? What are the best known practices for distributing IPv6 throughout a campus or state network?

IPv6 and APAN Tunnel IPv6 from other APAN site, run IPv6 native as soon as possible. Tunnel IPv6 within your country, run IPv6 native as soon as possible. Request IPv6 address allocation from APNIC, for example see: – htmlhttp:// html
