If the networking tool is not IPv6 compatible it will be a problem because we have to
purchase
new tool that compatible to
IPv6 and
for school
institution
like BiN us,
it
might
been a problem because school institution will prefer to spend money to purchase
something that more beneficial than networking tools.
From the Figure 5.8 some of the Operating System
in
BiN us JWC
is
not supported
IPv6
in this case Novell Netware 5 and Microsoft Windows 2000. For the last Operating
System
mentioned Microsoft Windows 2000, actually
it can be supported
IPv6 but
need
to download a program first from Microsoft in order to support IPv6. Microsoft it self do
not recommend Microsoft Windows 2000 for implementation IPv6.
Other
problem
concerning
hardware
and
software
occur
in
BiN us
JWC
Network
is
the
main
router.
Cisco
3550
unfortunately
doesn’t
support
IPv6
technology.
In other
word,
BiN us
JWC
need
to
purchase
new
switch
that
can
accommodate
IPv6
technology.
The
new type of Cisco 3550 is already support IPv6 which is Cisco 3560 & Cisco 3750.
Upgrading Software and Hardware will cost a lot of money. Figure 5.9 will give an
estimation cost
for
upgrading the network element.
