Ensuring a Smooth Transition From IPv4 to IPv6
The Challenge
- Depletion of IPv4 address space
- Long transition period requiring IPv4 and IPv6 coexistence
- Complexity of managing both IPv4 and IPv6
The Solution
The centralized DHCP solution allows service providers to effectively deal with IPv4 address shortages and assign addresses while preparing for their IPv6 implementation and migration needs.
- Ensure business continuity by facilitating IPv4-to-IPv6 transition
- Lower operational cost linked to IPAM and IPv6 transition
- Avoid long and costly in-house development using a field-proven commercial solution
- Centralized DHCP allows service providers to deal effectively with IPv4 address shortages
- Assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses across multiple DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 relays
- Simplifies operations through a relay-centric subscriber network
- Prepares service providers for their IPv6 implementation and migration needs
- Allows service providers to plan IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack resources
- Provides management and viewing of IPv4 addresses alongside IPv6 addresses
- Provides centralized view of IP address usage across all networks
- Helps service providers safely plan and execute their migration, avoiding unnecessary IPv6-related capital expenditure
- Automatically generates IPv6 addresses and manages Full AAAA ("quad A") IPv6 DNS resources
- Generates customized and generic IPv6 address reports, including law enforcement and Internet Registry reports
