This session was titled “IPv6 Microsegmentation,” and the speaker was Ivan Pepelnjak. The session starts with a discussion of the problems found in Layer 2 IPv6 networks. Note that some of these attacks are also common to IPv4 and are not necessarily unique to IPv6. Can we use shared Layer 3 IPv6 subnets?

I highly recommend you read the entire post, but in short the five skills Matt recommends are software skills (which includes configuration management and software development tools like Git ), Linux, deep protocol knowledge, hypervisor and container networking, and IPv6. It sounds pretty handy if you’re a combined VMware-Puppet shop.

Simon Leinen (from SWITCHengines) explains their use of IPv6 with OpenStack. Vivek Gite over at nixCraft explains how to use ufw (Uncomplicated Firewall) on Ubuntu to limit SSH connections. In a bit of an older post from late summer 2016, Matt Oswalt outlines why network engineers should care about the network software supply chain.
