IP6 / IP4 interoperability

by bennyhell . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

hi all,

Has anybody here implemented an isolated IP6 testing environent within an existing IP4 LAN? Basically, I’m implementing an IP6 development area where I can test multiple Unix, Windows, Linux clients using single / dual stack IP4/6.

I already have an isolated scenario, which is basically an isolated Cisco switch (we’re a Cisco house) , but I’d like to give my user base the ability to copy code etc.. to the IP6 area, and also provide them access to DNS AAAA records, DHCP 6 etc…

If anybody would like to make any suggestions, or quote from experience, I’m all ears.

I am toying with the idea placing a dual homed Linux box in a firewall roll between both Lans, or using an old Cisco 1700 router to manage the routing, although I have not arrived at any IP4-IP6 address translating strategy as of yet.

Ciao

BH
