    Enterprise Network Services Design (IPv6)

    The document discusses network services design considerations for an enterprise migrating to IPv4/IPv6 environments. It recommends locating centralized services like wireless controllers, IPv6 tunneling, and unified communications in a network services module for management. Examples of services the access layer can provide include power over Ethernet, QoS, application visibility, mobility, security, resiliency, and intelligent network controls. An interim approach of deploying IPv6 through tunnels allows faster introduction of new services without requiring an immediate network-wide upgrade.

    Enterprise Network Services Design (IPv6)


    The network services module is a relatively new element to the campus design. As campus network planners begin to consider
    migration to dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 environments, and continue to integrate more sophisticated Unified Communications services, a
    number of challenges lie ahead. It will be essential to integrate these services into the campus smoothly—while providing the appropriate
    degree of operational change management and fault isolation. The campus network also needs to continue to maintain a flexible and
    scalable design. For example, IPv6 services can be deployed through an interim tunnel-based overlay that enables IPv6 devices to tunnel
    over portions of the campus not yet

    IPv6-enabled. Such an interim approach enables a faster introduction of new services without requiring a networkwide, hot cutover.
    Examples of functions recommended to be located in a services module include

    ■ Centralized wireless controllers: These controllers provision and control access points across the entire campus.

    ■ Centralized IPv6 Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) tunnel termination from the enterprise campus
    to the network services module: This creates a tightly controlled overlay tunnel network on top of the existing network. Like all
    tunneling technologies, running multiple ISATAP tunnels to different segments in the network increases network administration
    complexity along with making it extremely difficult to manage and troubleshoot.

    ■ Unified Communications services (Cisco Unified Communications Manager, gateways): To enable Unified Communications
    services, enterprises deploy call managers and other voice gateway devices in the services block for centralized management.

    ■ Policy gateways: The policy gateways provide user authentication and authorization along with network access control (NAC)
    functions. Typical policy gateways include authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) servers, access control servers (ACS),
    and NAC profilers.
