Infoblox Offers New Tests To Assess and Validate IPv6 Implementations
Infoblox Inc. today announced IPv6 enhancements to its online DNS Advisor tool that is designed to help enterprises test the accessibility, configuration and security of their domains.
As the global supply of IPv4 addresses continues to dwindle, enterprises must be able to support the exploding number of IPv6-enabled devices, ranging from mobile phones, laptops and scanners to tablets, which will need to connect to internal networks and the Internet. Since IPv6 is a new addressing schema that impacts a myriad of network elements, automated IP address management solutions and tools, like the Infoblox DNS Advisor, will be essential to assess implementations and ensure that end users have access to domains from both IPv4 and IPv6 devices.
IPv6 and DNS expert Cricket Liu, who designed the tool, commented: “Because considerable uncertainty remains regarding the necessary steps required to successfully manage the transition from IPv4 to IPv6, some enterprises will be slow to make the move even as available IPv4 address space diminishes. Going forward, the additional IPv6 functionality in our DNS Advisor tool will help validate and instill greater confidence in enterprises’ and service providers’ IPv6 installations.”
The enhanced tool tests more than 75 facets of an organization’s DNS and IPv6 infrastructure against industry best-practice designs and architecture in six key areas:
- IPv6 Compatibility: Tests IPv6 connectivity, query responsiveness, IPv6 delegation and other compatibility-related commands
- Consistency: Searches for configuration inconsistencies that may cause longer DNS/IPv6 resolution times and compromise redundancy
- Configuration: Includes checks to ensure domains resolve properly and are reachable and resilient
- Security: Looks for security vulnerabilities
- Compliance: Tests if name servers support current protocols
At the end of the test, the tool provides an assessment report that includes an executive summary on how to mitigate any DNS and IPv6 shortcomings in the environment.
Useful Resources to Help Manage the IPv6 Transition
The online DNS Advisor tool complements Infoblox’s robust set of existing resources designed to help manage the IPv6 transition. To learn more about IPv6 enablement, myths and best practices, Infoblox offers the following resources in our IPv6 Resource Center :
