If you have a need for a 4-post rack, do not accomplish that by using 2 2-post racks. You will likely find that rack rails that are designed for a 4-post rack will not fit. Get an open-frame 4-post rack. It will come unassembled. It will also likely be no more costly that 2 2-post racks.

Question about migrating to IPv6 with multiple upstreams.

2011-06-11 Thread Randy Carpenter
I have an interesting situation at a business that I am working on. We currently have the office set up with redundant connections for their mission critical servers and such, and also have a (cheap) cable modem for general browsing on client machines. The interesting part is that the client

I guess I'm a little confused on the setup. You have a firewall with a connection to a local LAN, another connection to customer network(s), and a third connection to the Internet via cable modem? You have NAT setup to NAT your Local LAN out to the Internet and to the customer network?

Hi Ray, There's a nuance here you've missed. There are two main reasons for ULA inside the network: 1. Address stability (simplifies network management) 2. Source obfuscation (improves the depth of the security plan) Option 1: Obfuscation desired. ULA inside. NAT/PAT at both

Why do people insist on creating solutions where each host has exactly one IPv6 address, instead of letting each host have *three* (in this case) - a ULA and two provider-prefixed addresses? How does the upstream router control which address/path the client host use to route? -Randy

I heard at one time that hardware manufacturers were likely to route in hardware only down to a /64, and that any smaller subnets would be subject to the slow path as ASICs were being designed with 64-bit address tables. I have no idea of the validity of that claim. Does anyone have any
