Today day is the World IPv6 day the day when many well known companies will turn on IPv6 on their web-sites and email servers for the first time.

Here at Erion, we have been running IPv6 for nearly 15 years and so we have no need to turn anything on today, it will be service as normal. For a long time we have successfully run all our Internet facing services over IPv6 and most of our internal services over IPv6. This has been a great success and we have experienced very few problems. In the main, the deployment of IPv6 was easy.

However, as the world’s leading IPv6 training company, you would expect us to get the deployment of IPv6 right.

For others it can be more challenging. It is easy to turn on IPv6 services but there are many differences between IPv4 and IPv6 that can lead to problems. Many assume that IPv6 is the same as IPv6, just with longer addresses. This is not the case. IPv6 has many differences, for example use of multicast, auto-configuration, transition mechanisms and support for new features such as mobility. In addition, the large number of Transition Mechanisms bring a great deal of additional complexity to IPv6. Therefore, when deploying IPv6 is it is important to understand the differences from IPv4 and learn the about the pitfalls and how to avoid them.

To all those who are enabling IPv6 for the first time, we wish them a successful World IPv6 day!

At this year’s SambaXP, Erion’s David Holder gave a comprehensive presentation on how to deploy Samba in IPv6 networks. The presentation, Deploying Samba in IPv6 Networks, covered how to configure IPv6 in a network consisting of Samba Unix/Linux servers and Windows clients/servers all running IPv6.

The presentation highlights the key differences between IPv6 and IPv4 that must be considered when deploying Windows networking using Samba. These include the correct configuration of the right kinds of IPv6 addresses, the configuraton of StateLess Address AutoConfiguration (SLAAC), the optional configuration of DHCPv6, the configuration of IPv6 enabled DNS and finally the configuration and operation of IPv6 enabled Samba.

Erion has a long history of working with Unix/Linux and Windows integration and in particular with the Samba Team on IPv6 enabling Samba. Further information can be found on our blog under Samba.
