Interop Liveblog: IPv6 Microsegmentation

Scott Lowe

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?

Denise Fishburne has a 7-part series on IPv6. Eric Sloof has a link to a white paper from VMware on host power management in vSphere 7.0. There’s some networking stuff, a few security links, and even a hardware-related article. But enough with the introduction—let’s get into the content! Networking. Virtualization.

Charles Min-Cheng Chan has a write-up on using IPv6 in Mininet. Clifford Haas has a review of VMware NSX (this is from back in January). VMware recently published a case study describing how Rackspace used VMware NSX to quickly meet new PCI DSS compliance goals. Enough of that, though…bring on the content! Networking.

I’m not sure if this falls here or into the “Cloud Computing/Cloud Computing” category, but Shannon McFarland—fellow co-conspirator with the Denver OpenStack Meetup group—has a nice article describing some design and deployment considerations for IPv6 in the OpenStack Kilo release. Pretty painless, to be honest. Thanks Cody!

This article contains some good information on IPv6 for those who are just starting to get more familiar with it, although toward the end it turns into a bit of an advertisement. Steven Bright shows how to deploy Salt minions automatically using VMware Tools. I hope you’re able to find something useful here! Networking.

Colin Lynch shares some details on his journey with VMware NSX (so far). I wouldn’t take this information as gospel, but here’s a breakdown of some of the IPv6 support available in VMware NSX. Sjors Robroek describes his nested NSX-T lab that also includes some virtualized network equipment (virtualized Arista switches).
