For the most part the dire warnings about running out of internet addresses have ceased because, slowly but surely, migration from the world of Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6 has begun, and software is in place to prevent the address apocalypse that many were predicting. What is IPv6 and why is it important?
Enhanced networking infrastructure brings more IPv6 access As an operating system platform that is used as the basis for enterprise, cloud and even telecom scale deployments, RHEL’s networking stack is of particular importance to users. With this update, you can connect to IPsec VPNs that use IPv6 addressing.” release notes state.
Part of the reason is that many enterprises use an internet perimeter firewall performing port address translation (PAT) with a default policy that allows access the internet, a solution that leaves open a possible path by which attackers can breach security.
Firewall Network firewalls were created as the primary perimeter defense for most organizations, but since its creation the technology has spawned many iterations: proxy, stateful, Web app, next-generation. IPv6IPv6 is the latest version of internet protocol that expands the number of possible IP addresses from the 4.3
Many ISPs and end-user firewalls seek to block bogons, because they have no legitimate use (more details on how successful they can be at this are below). But filtering the full bogon list requires about 5000 rules for IPv4 and about 70,000 rules for IPv6. Filtering private IP addresses requires only a few rules.

This session was titled “IPv6 Microsegmentation,” and the speaker was Ivan Pepelnjak. The session starts with a discussion of the problems found in Layer 2 IPv6 networks. Note that some of these attacks are also common to IPv4 and are not necessarily unique to IPv6. Can we use shared Layer 3 IPv6 subnets?
Fully utilize firewall capabilities. If your internet provider offers IPv6, be sure to implement security precautions tailored for this protocol. Implement Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 ( WPA3 ) to enhance wireless security within your home network. Upgrade your router if it does not support WPA3.
Additionally, consider switching from IPv6 to IPv4, as this might improve compatibility with the game servers. Firewall and antivirus : Check if your firewall or antivirus software is blocking the game’s access to the internet. If you’re using Wi-Fi, try switching to a wired Ethernet connection for better stability.
IPv6 support. SLA monitoring (service level agreement). Monitoring QoS (Quality of service, for example, to monitor VoIP). Environmental monitoring. Monitoring of LAN, WAN, VPN, and distributed sites. Extensive event logging. Monitoring without agents. Flexible Alerts. Various user interfaces. Failover Cluster: fault tolerance.
I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Anthony Burke gives a little bit of a sneak peek at some functionality from the upcoming v3 release of PowerNSX: searching NSX Distributed Firewall (DFW) rules. Servers/Hardware. Cloud Computing/Cloud Management.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Vivek Gite over at nixCraft explains how to use ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Ubuntu to limit SSH connections. In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain.
I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this before; if I have, please forgive me.
Roie Ben Haim, who works in professional services at VMware, has a deep dive on the NSX distributed firewall (DFW). This article by Michael Gugino provides some details on getting GRE tunnels over IPv6 with Open vSwitch running on CentOS 7. I haven’t had a chance to read it all, but it seems pretty comprehensive. Thanks Mike!
Installation of the DHCP role is straightforward enough until the question of IPv6 is raised. After the install, the server keeps warnin me to set a static IPv6 address on the server in order to be able to manage an IPv6 scope in DHCP. All clients in the network concerned are running Win7 Pro. 3/07/2012 2:07 PM. Sean Daniel.
Tor Anderson has an article on using IPv6 for network boot using UEFI and iPXE. We all know that security is more than just a host-based firewall, but a host-based firewall can be part of an overall security strategy. Welcome to Technology Short Take #57. I hope you find something useful here! Networking. Larry Smith Jr.
