Re: Windows 2008 IPv6

Hello Frankster,

It shouldn't with that less amount of devices. But for future planning i think you should always start the better way, to prevent yourself to reconfigure everything, when it comes to the point that your network grow up.

Meinolf, may I ask...

I suppose the reason you want to minimize the broadcast domain size is
to improve network performance by reducing broadcasts. Right? I just
wondered if, on a network with only 10-20 network devices (computers,
printers, routers, etc) does it really make any noticeable difference
if you use a 255.255.0.0 mask rather than 255.255.255.0?

Hello George,

So 254 hosts are more then enough in the moment, what comes to
255.255.255.0 or /24 for the subnet mask.

I have about 50 users.. 5 network printers, 4 servers.

2 of the servers are brand new and basically replacing the other
ones..

So in the new environment I have 2 dell poweredge servers running
windows 2008 64 bit.. I also have a new dell EqualLogic storage
array.. I building the 2008 environment from scratch..

the 1st dell server will be the PDC the second one will be the BDC
and database server..

The new environment is in test mode so I can learn all of this
stuff.

so best practices and ideas on how to set this up is greatly
appreciated.. "Meinolf Weber [MVP-DS]" <meiweb(nospam)@gmx.de> wrote

Hello George,

255.255.255.0. How many clients do you have in your environment?

Best regards

Hello George,

Two options, uncheck it on the NIC properties or fill in the
correct ip addresses for your subnet.

You can use this calculator to get the correct IPv6 addresses for
your needs:
http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/subnet-calculators/ipv4-to-ipv6
-c on verter.php

BTW, with that subnet mask you have a really big broadcast domain
and i think you don't have the need for 65534 hosts? You should
try to avoid subnet's higher then 255.255.255.0 which results in
254 hosts.

I'm going through setting up a windows 2008 domain controller
for the first time.. I put in static IPv4 addresses. When the
dcpromo wizard gets to the DNS portion of services it says
computer has dynamically assigned IP addresses.. I think this
is because I haven't put anything in for the IPv6 portion..

I'm not sure what to put in there?? If my IPv4 network card is
statically assigned a 172.22.3.1 subnet of 255.255.0.0 and
default gateway of 172.22.1.1..

Anyone know where I can go or how to assign IPv6 addresses..
Just not understanding that part yet..

Thanks..
