The title of the white paper\u00a0is\u00a0Assigning and Managing IPv6 Addresses in Higher Education Environments and it\u2019s available here.<\/p>\n<p>As the paper relates, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) is the state\u2019s biggest institute of higher learning and public research. It\u00a0has\u00a0campuses in Manchester, Durham, and Concord with over 17,000 students and 1,000 faculty. A recent wireless network upgrade provided the IT team with an opportunity to both roll out IPv6 as well as to improve their IP address management practice in the process.<\/p>\n<p>UNH\u2019s IT Internet director\u00a0Scott Kitterman has had his eye on IPv6 for many years: \u201cWe support all aspects of higher education at the University of New Hampshire and part of our commitment to our community is to provide up-to-date tools, services, and capabilities that will allow them to learn, teach, and be ready to make a difference in their prospective fields of work. The use of IPv6 over the local-area networks and the Internet is only going to grow and people, consumers, and maintainers of networks need to have access to it to experience the benefits ofmodern networks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And IPv6\u00a0thought leaders like Scott aren\u2019t the only reason UNH is uniquely suited to drive IPv6 efforts for\u00a0enterprise networks: The university is also home to what is\u00a0arguably the\u00a0world\u2019s\u00a0premier IPv6 interoperability lab, which many vendors (including Infoblox) use for independent\u00a0validation of\u00a0both the interoperability and protocol conformance of their\u00a0IPv6 features.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key challenges facing any enterprise deploying IPv6 is\u00a0how to best\u00a0track address and prefix assignments. For instance, administrators expect\u00a0functional parity of addresses assigned to individual hosts through DHCP, whether\u00a0IPv4, IPv6, or dual-stack. The assignment of globally-routable\u00a0IPv6 addresses (as opposed to the IPv6\u00a0RFC1918 equivalent of unique local addressing)\u00a0is considered standard, even for enterprise,\u00a0but more critically the interface identifier (IID) can be a source of transcription or reading\u00a0errors given that an IID can be up to 16 hexadecimal characters \u2014 especially where EUI-64 formatting is the result of running stateless DHCPv6\u00a0(though in practice stateful\u00a0DHCPv6 ranges are most\u00a0often manually defined\u00a0and as such usually result in a\u00a0much shorter IID).<\/p>\n<p>Along those same lines, the allocation of IPv6 prefixes can be problematic \u2014 especially when IT staff are less familiar with the syntax of IPv6 addressing. Infoblox IPAM capabilities also make it easier to demonstrate and explain the IPv6 address plan to others in the IT organization \u2014 even\u00a0outside the networking team, such as system and application administrators. According to Kitterman:\u00a0\u201cThe big win is that, through Infoblox, IPv6 address planning and delegation become easier than growing out an existing IPv4 IP management scheme that has grown over a few decades. It is a great time to get a clean refresh on the network design. Not only does Infoblox make it easy to create an IPv6 address plan, it offers sanity checks through the IPAM features as network blocks are divided just the same as in IPv4, which is a huge bonus while UNH is planning and preparing for the IoT boom and wireless growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Educational enterprises like UNH \u2014\u00a0but also those in other verticals such as manufacturing, health care, and\u00a0financial services \u2014 are moving in ever\u00a0greater numbers\u00a0to adopt IPv6. Along the way, they\u2019re learning what Kitterman learned about IPv6 at UNH:\u00a0\u201cWe did this, and others can as well, by starting in a small controlled environment. Getting started did not take much time or effort. Building out from the very confined test network into the enterprise has beena progressive and steady evolution. IPv6 is not going to be any harder than IPv4 in current environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to (and shouldn\u2019t!)\u00a0wait for an infrastructure upgrade project to tackle IPv6 deployment for your enterprise. And\u00a0regardless of which vertical your enterprise is in, a\u00a0big first step to enabling IPv6 is getting an IPv6 allocation \u2014 either from your ISP or directly from the Regional Internet Registry. In my next blog post, I\u2019ll review the process of obtaining an IPv6 allocation.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, if you haven\u2019t grabbed the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infoblox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/infobox-whitepaper-assigning-and-managing-ipv6-addresses-in-higher-education-environments.pdf?utm_source=blox-community&amp;utm_campaign=community-q2&amp;utm_medium=blox-community\">Infoblox UNH IPv6 address planning white paper<\/a>\u00a0yet, be sure to do so.
