NetworkWorld je v enem od zadnjih člankov opozoril, da nas v bližnji prihodnosti ne čaka samo prehod na IPv6, ampak tudi spopad z novo verzijo “pošasti”, ki se ji že sedaj reče IP Address Management. Kaj IPAM je? Vsak si IPAM razlaga drugače, nekateri smatrajo IPAM en list papirja, na katerega narišejo razpredelnico z IP naslovi in čemu so namenjeni, nekateri se pa zavedajo, da je IPAM precej kompleksnejša zadeva. Če smo v 32-bitnem naslovnem prostoru imeli toliko težav s tem, kaj bo šele v 128-bitnem…

Kot poroča NetworkWorld, imamo na voljo kar nekaj naprav, ki omogočajo bolj ali manj kompleksne IPAM možnosti in rešitve, izpostavljajo pa rešitev podjetja Infoblox, ki se je eno od prvih resno zagrizlo tudi v IPv6 IPAM. Izpostavljajo kar nekaj sprememb in razlik, od avtomatske avtokonfiguracije do DNS problematike. Napisali so tudi študijo o IPAM, kjer zaenkrat ne zajemajo IPv6 tematike, je pa zadeva obrazložena v enem od komentarjev iz strani Infobloxa.

Infoblox not only supports but greatly simplifies IPV6 deployment and management. IPV6 complexity creates unique challenges for network administrators and existing tools and practices for DNS and IP address management do not scale well.
Infoblox appliances are JITC certified for IPV6 compliance and can be configured with an IPV6 address. Infoblox appliances provide following feature functionalities for simplifying IPV6 networks –

1. DNS for IPV6 addresses: Infoblox NIOS appliances support DNS zones with IPV6 addresses. Automation of DNS tasks ensures that the complexity of IPV6 addresses is hidden from the administrators. Infoblox solution supports IPV6 DNS AAAA records, AAAA shared records, IP6.ARPA zone and mixed IPV4 and IPV6 ACLs.

2. IPV6 IP address management: Traditional means of IP address management (e.g. spreadsheets, home grown applications etc.) fall short in an IPV6 environment. Sheer complexity of long IP addresses combined with the huge address space makes management difficult. Infoblox IP address management functionality (IPAM) simplifies this complexity. Using Infoblox solution, administrators can create/split/join IPV6 networks, auto create ip6.arpa zones and manage IPAM for dual-stack hosts. In addition users can monitor IPV6 space utilization and automate IPV6 address assignment.

Hopefully this clarifies questions you had about Infoblox support of IPV6.

Po kratki raziskavi našega internetnega prostora sem Infoblox IPAM naprave našel pri enem od članov zavoda go6, podjetju CHS ki te naprave zastopa in trži. Zelo dobro.
