Greetings,
I have read recently that so-called 'World IPv6 Day' has been declared for 8th June this year, and I notice that ASG v8 is meant to support this new standard. Before I jump on this bandwagon I have a couple of questions:
- If I were to enable IPv6 on my ASG right now, what would happen to my existing IPv4 infrastructure? Would I have to reassign new IP addresses to all my existing devices with static IPv4 mappings, or can I still run IPv4 devices in parallel?
- I'm assuming the IPv6 implementation in ASG is only for internal devices, correct? If not how will this affect web browsing?
- How will switching to IPv6 affect VPN connections? Will the client machine have to be IPv6-enabled to connect and get an IP address from the VPN pool, or will this still function under the existing protocol through some sort of NAT-type functionality?
I guess to sum up, the main question I'm asking is whether IPv6 is backwards compatible with IPv4.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
Jon.
