Question

You are a network engineer for a midsized government contractor working on a project for a national government lab. Your network consulting company has been hired to convert several of the lab offices from IPv4 to IPv6. You have convinced your manager that you need a test lab for your IPv6 migration. He says the sales team didn’t include any money for a lab in its proposal to the customer. To get the capital for the lab from the CIO, you need to write a justification and create a Bill of Material for the infrastructure and tools for the lab. Include any hardware and software you think you will need.

Answer 1

Answer:

In creating a Bill of Material for the infrastructure and tools for the lab, we need to create certain test plans, by having to test applications anf devices that will work in a new environment

Infrastructures devices in the IPv6 lab is needed such as switches, routers, firewalls.

End systems are important with various operating systems and application that is hosted in a fictional network.

At the end of the day, it might be costly, but durability is rest assured on the long period of time.

Explanation:

Solution

By setting up a IPv6 and converting labs from IPv4 to IPv6 is not only tasking, but we need to create or design certain test plans.

We  test how applications and devices will work in a new environment and this set up will be like a real world environment  (scenario)

This IPv6 lab will need infrastructure devices like routers, firewalls, routers, switches.

With the addition of infrastructure devices it also needs end systems with various operating systems. and  applications that are hosted in the operational network

All these things will cost but  the durability is assured on the long period.

Setting up a full lab set up may costly but it provides an environment where we can test application and infrastructure safely.  this type of system testing will give insights to how the system will function when we allocated operationally . this will helps to reduce cost  and if we want test these for multiple labs we can develop a tunnel.

Tunnel Is nothing but a native common thing that connects all the labs that want to initiate an IPv4.

Because of time and cost both will decrease and infrastructure durability increases and performance .
