IPv6 in Campus Networks - PDF Free Download

IPv6 A Key Driver for the e-economy O.S. & Applications Restoring an environment for Innovation Mobile Networking The Ubiquitous Internet Agriculture/Wildlife Medical Transportation Consumer & Services Manufacturing e-nations Services on the edge of the Network Higher Ed./Research Government (Federal/Public Sector) 2

How Do we Get There from Here? IT Departments must include IPv6 as a core element of their IT strategy. Applications must become protocol agnostic IPv4 & IPv6 will coexist for the foreseeable future No D-Day / Flag Day. Education & Careful Planning are crucial. How long does it take in your environment? IPv4 & IPv6 implementations must be scalable, reliable, secure and feature rich. Strategy that reflects this Starting with Edge upgrades enable IPv6 service offerings now 3

IPv6 Integration Many ways to deliver IPv6 services to End Users, Most important is End to End IPv6 traffic forwarding Service Providers and Enterprises may have different deployment needs and mechanisms but basic steps are common Definition of an IPv6 addressing scheme Selection of the IPv6 routing protocol(s) DNS server ready to register AAAA record IPv6 devices management rules over an IPv4 transport? Security rules for IPv6 access 4

IPv6 Deployment Scenario for Enterprises Environment Scenario Cisco IOS support WAN IPv6 services available from ISP Dual Stack Yes Dedicated Data Link layers, eg. LL, ATM & FR PVC, dwdm Lambda No IPv6 services from ISP or experimentation few sites No IPv6 services from ISP or experimentation many sites, any to any communication Dual Stack Configured Tunnels 6to4 Yes Yes Yes Campus L3 infrastructure IPv6 capable Dual Stack Yes L3 infrastructure not IPv6 capable, or sparse IPv6 hosts population ISATAP Yes 5

IPv6 over WAN Configured Tunnels IPv6 Header Transport Header Data IPv4 Header IPv6 Header Transport Header Data IPv6 site (dual stack) Cisco IOS 12.3M/T and 12.2S Cat.6500 & 12.0S on C12000 IPv4 Internet IPv6 site (dual stack) Manually Configured tunnels RFC 2893 or GRE IS-IS for IPv6 can only be configured over GRE tunnels Tunnel source and destination (IPv4) explicitly configured at end nodes Requires dual-stack router nodes or other end point (IPv4 and IPv6) As number of sites grows - manageability 7

IPv6 over WAN 6to4 Tunnels 2002 Public IPv4 address SLA Interface ID 6to4 relay Anycast IPv6 Internet IPv6 site (dual stack) IPv4 Internet 2001::/16 address space Cisco IOS 12.3M/T and 12.2S Cat.6500 12.0S on C12000 6to4 Tunnels (RFC 3056) Automatic tunnel method Tunnels created dynamically based upon embedded IPv4 addresses NOT reliant upon a IPv6 ready Provider. Router tunnels IPv6 packets on 6to4 tunnel whenever the next-hop IPv6 address is non-local and its prefix is 2002::/16 Encapsulated packet gets its IPv4 destination address from the IPv4 address embedded in the next-hop IPv6 address 6to4 Relay to be configured as default route to reach the IPv6 Internet Anycast (RFC 3068) to handle several relays IPv6 site (dual stack) 8

IPv6 on a Campus ISATAP Tunnels Native IPv6 IPv6 in IPv4 ISATAP IPv6 Prefix ::/64 0000:5EFE: IPv4 Addr. 32-bit 32-bit Interface ID IPv6 Data Center IPv6 Internet/Intranet ISATAP router Cisco IOS 12.3M/T 12.2S Cat.6500 IPv4 + IPv6 ISATAP Network Dual-Stack Host Dual-Stack Host Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) IETF Draft Automatic Tunnels created dynamically based on embedded IPv4 addresses IPv6 Unicast only Primarily intended for communication between [sparse] IPv6 hosts within a site with no native IPv6 infrastructure but an ISATAP router IPv6 hosts connect to virtual IPv6 link that may spread several IPv4 subnets to directly communicate between each others. IPv6 hosts reach the IPv6 Internet through an ISATAP router 10

IPv6 on a Campus Dual-Stack IPv4-IPv6 Requires Switching / Routing Platforms to support hardware based forwarding for IPv4 & IPv6 IPv6 is transparent on L2 switches but for Multicast MLD snooping Requires Robust Control Plane for both IPv4 & IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration Routing protocols IPv6 Multicast and other Advanced Services such a QoS Security through IPv6 Access Control Capabilities Including option headers IPv4 & IPv6 Control Planes & Data Planes must not impact each other 10 GE core WAN & Internet Access Data Center 11

IPv6 over WAN Securing IPv6 Tunnels Manual IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnels can be secured using IPv4 IPsec 6to4 tunnels between remote sites from an enterprise can be secured using IPv4 IPsec and could take benefits of key distribution mechanisms for sites from a corporate network Remote sites that only get an IPv4 dynamic address can still re-negotiate the tunnel endpoint with a central site and secure the connection using IPv4 Dynamic IPsec on Cisco IOS Securing IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels with IPv4 IPsec over UDP on Cisco IOS enables NAT and Firewall traversal in a secure way IPv6 ACL must be applied to the tunnel endpoints to secure the IPv6 traffic 19
