IPV6 SUPPORT
Leading industry analysts, such as
Gartner Gr
oup and Burton, have
indicated that IPv6 will be a
r
equirement for enterprise networks
in the near future. By including it
now, a network manager extends
the life of existing equipment and
prevents future expenses from
upgrading to IPv6.
The OmniSwitch 6850 family
provides full IPv6 support with
hardware-based forwarding for
wire-rate speeds, classification
and tunneling to address various
corporate and U.S. federal
government Department of Defense
(DoD) requirements for IPv6.
Flexibility is provided through a
choice of deploying IPv4, IPv6, or
IPv4/IPv6 without compromising
switch performance. The OS6850s
offer both native IPv6 routing and
extensive support of IPv6 tunneling
mechanisms, including configured,
6-in-4, and ISATAP tunneling.
IPv6 will eventually be a
requirement for enterprise
networks. By including it in
curr
ent pur
chases, a network
manager extends the life of
existing equipment and pr
events
future expenses.
