IPv6 Planning (Task Maps)
Complete the tasks in the next task map in sequential order to accomplish the planning tasks necessary for IPv6 deployment.
|
Task |
Description |
For Instructions |
|---|---|---|
|
1. Prepare your hardware to support IPv6. |
Ensure that your hardware can be upgraded to IPv6. | |
|
2. Get an ISP that supports IPv6. |
Ensure that your current ISP supports IPv6. Otherwise, find an ISP who can support IPv6. You can use two ISPs, one ISP for IPv6 and one for ISP IPv4 communications. |
|
|
3. Ensure that your applications are IPv6 ready. |
Verify that your applications can run in an IPv6 environment. | |
|
4. Get a site prefix. |
Obtain a 48-bit site prefix for your site from your ISP or from the nearest RIR. | |
|
5. Create a subnet addressing plan. |
You need to plan the overall IPv6 network topology and addressing scheme before you can configure IPv6 on the various nodes in your network. | |
|
6. Design a plan for tunnel usage. |
Determine which routers should run tunnels to other subnets or external networks. | |
|
7. Create an addressing plan for entities on the network. |
Your plan for addressing servers, routers, and hosts should be in place before IPv6 configuration. | |
|
8. Develop an IPv6 security policy. |
Investigate IP Filter, IP security architecture (IPsec), Internet Key Exchange (IKE), and other Solaris security features as you develop an IPv6 security policy. | |
|
9. (Optional) Set up a DMZ. |
For security purposes, you need an addressing plan for the DMZ and its entities before you configure IPv6. | |
|
10. Enable the nodes to support IPv6. |
Configure IPv6 on all routers and hosts. | |
|
11. Turn on network services. |
Make sure that existing servers can support IPv6. | |
|
12. Update name servers for IPv6 support. |
Make sure that DNS, NIS, and LDAP servers are updated with the new IPv6 addresses. |
