D-Link Managed Switches Now Are IPv6 Ready

Networking solutions provider D-Link announced that the company's xStack DGS-3400 series, xStack DES-3200 series, xStack DES-3528/52 series, DGS-3610 series and DES-7200 chassis series switches received IPv6 Ready Core Logo Phase 2 certification from the IPv6 Forum.
Compared with Phase-1, the Phase-2 logo verifies optimum compliance because it expands more "core IPv6 protocols" tests and adds new extended test categories.
The IPv6 Forum is a worldwide consortium, with a key focus to provide technical guidance for the deployment of IPv6. The IPv6 Ready Logo is a conformance and interoperability testing program intended to increase user-confidence by demonstrating that IPv6 is currently operational, and ready to use.
Earlier this year, the D-Link DGS-3200 series and DGS-3600 series xStack Gigabit managed switches received IPv6 ready logo Phase 2 certification.
According to the latest industry estimates, the supply of new IPv4 addresses available from the regional Internet registries will run out in 2011. IPv6 fixes this problem by expanding the pool of new IP addresses by using 128-bit addresses.
IPv6 also provides built-in security as well as network management and mobility enhancements. Therefore the growing demand for IPv6 support from government agencies, education institutions and corporate entities has become much stronger.
Jayesh Kotak, VP-product management, D-Link (India),said, "These IPv6-enabled switches provide a secure network environment. Specific vertical markets such as government and education institutions could especially benefit from the attributes that IPv6 technology provides for secure data communications."
The D-Link xStack DGS-3400 series, xStack DES-3200 series, xStack DES-3528/52 series, DGS-3610 series and DES-7200 chassis series switches are the L2/L3 Gigabit solutions for business/enterprise and vertical markets.
These two series provide current IPv4 networks with a simple migration path to IPv6 and protects your investment for future network upgrades when greater security and larger addressing are required. The IPv6 multicast host, the latest in protocol technology, enables maximum hardware performance, the company said in a release.
