IPv6 for Enterprise Networks

The practical guide to deploying IPv6 in campus,
WAN/branch, data center, and virtualized environments

Shannon McFarland, CCIE® No. 5245

Muninder Sambi, CCIE No. 13915

Nikhil Sharma, CCIE No. 21273

Sanjay Hooda, CCIE No. 11737

IPv6 for Enterprise Networks brings together all the information you need to successfully deploy IPv6 in any campus, WAN/branch, data center, or virtualized environment. Four leading Cisco IPv6 experts present a practical approach to organizing and executing your large-scale IPv6 implementation. They show how IPv6 affects existing network designs, describe common IPv4/IPv6 coexistence mechanisms, guide you in planning, and present validated configuration examples for building labs, pilots, and production networks.


The authors first review some of the drivers behind the acceleration of IPv6 deployment in the enterprise. Next, they introduce powerful new IPv6 services for routing, QoS, multicast, and management, comparing them with familiar IPv4 features and behavior. Finally, they translate IPv6 concepts into usable configurations. Up-to-date and practical, IPv6 for Enterprise Networks is an indispensable resource for every network engineer, architect, manager, and consultant who must evaluate, plan, migrate to, or manage IPv6 networks.

Shannon McFarland, CCIE No. 5245, is a Corporate Consulting Engineer for Cisco serving as a technical consultant for enterprise IPv6 deployment and data center design with a focus on application deployment and virtual desktop infrastructure. For more than 16 years, he has worked on large-scale enterprise campus, WAN/branch, and data center network design and optimization. For more than a decade, he has spoken at IPv6 events worldwide, including Cisco Live.

Muninder Sambi, CCIE No. 13915, is a Product Line Manager for Cisco Catalyst 4500/4900 series platform, is a core member of the Cisco IPv6 development council, and a key participant in IETF’s IPv6 areas of focus.

Nikhil Sharma, CCIE No. 21273, is a Technical Marketing Engineer at Cisco Systems where he is responsible for defining new features for both hardware and software for the Catalyst 4500 product line.

Sanjay Hooda, CCIE No. 11737, a Technical Leader at Cisco, works with embedded systems, and helps to define new product architectures. His current areas of focus include high availability and messaging in large-scale distributed switching systems.

I've configured IPv6 scores of times in labs (it's on the R&S CCIE) but never designed/worked on a production IPv6 network, so I needed to soak up as many war stories, tips and guides as possible. This book fit the bill pretty well. It's well organized, and like another reviewer I thank the authors for skipping the v6 packet structure as well as the OSI rundown that seemed to be required for over a decade's worth of networking books. Also, the justification silliness is kept to <10 pages, which helps.

There is a lot of good design advice in here about networks in general, and the authors hit a variety of angles, like remote access, firewalling, DHCP, etcetera. A lot of it was pretty basic stuff, but it makes the book comprehensive.

Regarding the v6 specific information, I learned a few helpful nuances that probably would have annoyed me later on (I've been researching online for weeks so I ran into a lot of the info here previously), like MLD and RA Guard, the latter I was annoyed to see our vendor doesn't support yet; really, it's such a simple and helpful feature. The authors spilled over into lightweight configuration of things like VMWare and Windows, which I don't need at the moment but is nice to have since a good neteng should understand what's going on in the adjacent playgrounds.

Moderate props for covering Nexus, but the CRS platform is missing so it kind of evens out.

What I didn't like was a lack of ISIS (2 pages) and VRRP (don't think it was even mentioned), mostly the former as VRRP is pretty easy to figure out. I think if EIGRP was covered it should have been an easy justification to get ISIS in there. Yes I know it's a Cisco book, but tons of shops are picking ISIS specifically because of v6 support, and I don't know anyone actively rolling out a new EIGRP install. Bottom line - it deserved to be in there.

Overall a good resource that organizes a lot of information you'll find in random places online like NANOG presentations and vendor forums. And it gives commands as well as design guidance, so you're not sitting there thinking, "I *know* I'm supposed to do this, tell me what to type to get it done," or worse, muddling around CCO's house of a thousand dead hyperlinks and redirects. My main beef is that it leaves the telco and other high-end network types out.

This book is a breath of fresh air for those of us that need to take IPv6 from the text book and implement it into the network. The title lays it out well:
"The practical guide to deploying IPv6 in campus, 'WAN/branch, data center, and virtualized environments"

I can recommend this book for a wide audience including:
- Network Administrators looking for practical information about IPv6
- Network Engineers tasked with developing an IPv6 deployment plan
- Managers looking to evaluate IPv6 and the pro's / con's that go along with it
- Anyone that is interested in IPv6

The book starts out addressing the WHY IPv6 question. This section lays out the drivers for IPv6 with the benefits of IPv6 adoption. At the end of the chapter is an IPv6 Q&A section followed up with a list of vertical markets that are making the move to IPv6.

Next the book dives into hierarchical network design. This chapter is a great review of network design that covers all of the bases from access to core and from the Data center to the branch. It includes new technologies such as VSS as well. I noted that this chapter would be a great primer for someone considering tackling the CCDE written.

The next sections take a look at common terminology along with how IPv6 works with IPv4 and how IPv6 is implemented with common network services such as Multicast, QoS and routing protocol support.

Now that the foundation is laid, it is time to move on the planning an IPv6 deployment. This could be a daunting task, but the book gives a great starting point with a section duly called "Determining Where To Begin". Also, ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) is a big factor these days and yes this book leads one to get the creative juices flowing to identify common risks with an IPv6 deployment.

The book follows with several chapters dedicated to the specifics of IPv6 deployment across several networks types including Campus, Virtualized, WAN/Branch and Data Center. So what about extended network access? Don't worry, you are covered!! A chapter dedicated to Remote Access VPN is there for you.

So, now you have deployed Ipv6 - now what? Chapter 11 covers the care and feeding of an IPv6 network.
The book ends with a fantastic section covering setting up a test environment to setup an IPv6 lab and starting a pilot deployment. The step by step directions and screenshots are done very well - yes you can actually make out what is in the screenshots!!!

At a slim 372 pages, this book should be on every network engineers required reading list.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential reference for IPv6 deployment
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2011
Network architects need to sift through enormous amounts of technical choices and decisions in designing their networks, given their organization's current and future networking requirements. This is nowhere more true than in enabling IPv6 on an existing IPv4 infrastructure. Where this book really shines is in providing a comprehensive list of choices for models of deployment, and an objective analysis of their pros and cons. It covers these comparisons at a broad network design level during the initial chapters, as well as domain specific areas such as campus/data center/WAN in the later chapters. The chapters are especially well organized to break down the entire content into individual topics of discussion. This makes a great handy book for reference, since it doesn't assume a dependence on other chapters. Also, there is a very strong practical aspect with plenty of configuration examples which is especially useful if you have a Cisco run network. But even otherwise, the conceptual explanations are also very well done, and I found the text to be quite easy to follow. The liberal use of illustrations is also very helpful in understanding the concepts. True that it is very cisco-centeric especially when covering some specific deployment examples, it is still generic enough to be extremely informative and educational to anyone who is interested in knowing about IPv6 deployment considerations and techniques. Its also great to see virtualization techniques at every level being covered as an integral part of the deployment.
