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?

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. It sounds pretty handy if you’re a combined VMware-Puppet shop.

Colin Lynch shares some details on his journey with VMware NSX (so far). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Sjors Robroek describes his nested NSX-T lab that also includes some virtualized network equipment (virtualized Arista switches).

I think I’ve mentioned this before (it’s really hard to keep track of which articles you’ve included in a Technology Short Take already, so apologies if this is a duplicate), but this article provides a good overview of the VXLAN control plane modes in VMware NSX. Keep up the great work, Brent!) Cloud Computing/Cloud Management. Thanks Mike!

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.
