This is part of our “Migration Considerations for IPv6” series of educational webinars.
IP address Management (IPAM) is a critical tool of modern enterprise networks. IPAM not being a set Standard means there is a lot to consider when choosing an IPAM strategy and tool. IPv6 can present challenges due to its sheer scale of available IP Addresses. We will walk through features that can make this a seamless process and how tools can dramatically improve our IPAM solution’s accuracy and depth of information. We will finish up with a dive into the role our IPAM solution plays in overall enterprise security.

DHCP is so much more than assigning an IP address in our modern network environments. When moving to IPv6, this means we have a lot to consider and address.
The agenda topics for this class include:
- DHCPv6 Modes
- DHCPv6 Relay
- Address Allocation
- Basic commands: Client
- Basic commands: Server / Relay
- Prefix ‘Hints’

This webinar will be taught by Jon Worley (ARIN) and Nalini Elkins (INTC). This is a part of the Community Grant to INTC from ARIN.
Jon will start by helping you better understand IPv6 address planning, how to determine the right block size for your organization, and how to plan for growth. We will include some real-life examples and even an opportunity to try your hand at planning for your own organization! Nalini will go into even more detail and provide some rules for IPv6 address planning.In this session, we will:
- Review the important prefixes needed for an IPv6 address plan,
- Do a sample address plan together,
- Discuss how a good address plan makes security and routing policy easier,
- Consider numbering your LAN segment, SSID, or VLAN,
- Consider numbering for sites, backbone, links, Consider how to remember your addresses for diagnostics and troubleshooting, and
- Look at plans that other enterprises have done.
Jon Worley is the Senior Technology Architect with ARIN and has been a member of the Registration Services team since 2004. He has experience with all ARIN policies and procedures for requesting, managing, and transferring IP addresses and AS numbers, including technical services such as ARIN’s RESTful API. Jon has spoken about these topics as well as IPv4 depletion and IPv6 adoption at many ARIN events.
Nalini Elkins is the President of the Industry Network Technology Council. She is also the CEO and Founder of Inside Products, Inc. Nalini is a recognized leader in the field of computer performance measurement and analysis. In addition to being an experienced software product designer, developer, and planner, she is a formidable businesswoman. She has been the founder or co-founder of three start-ups in the high-tech arena.
This session is funded with a grant from ARIN. It is a two-hour webinar.
Dual Stack and Transition Mechanisms
Enterprises rarely switch over from IPv4 to IPv6 in one step. Generally, companies will run dual-stack for a time, where both IPv4 and IPv6 are available on devices. This doesn’t solve most of the problems IPv6 was designed to solve, so we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of:
- Dual-stack
- NAT44
- Dual-stack Lite
- NAT64/DNS64
- 464xlat
- MAP-T
- MAP-E
- IPv6-Only
DHCPv6Although IPv6 provides new addressing possibilities (SLAAC), most enterprises will want to continue using DHCP — which is now DHCPv6. We will describe how a client finds a DHCPv6 server, what information it can request and expect back. We will compare DHCPv6 to SLAAC. We will discuss:
- DHCPv6 Solicit Advertise, Request, Reply
- DHCPv6 multicast addresses
- IA_NA, IA_PD
- Prefix “hints” to request the same prefix, or any prefix of a certain size
- Additional information (DNS, transition mechanism, etc.)
