IPv4 vs IPv6

When will the switch-over from IPv4 to IPv6 happen?

What is the implication of the switch-over to companies?

Assume you are the network administrator at that company, what do you have to do to make sure there is a smooth transition? Explain in detail.

Is your home network ready for the switch-over?  Find out if your networking devices including computers/tablets/gaming systems/etc are ready for IPv6.  You may need to research on the manufacturer website to find this info.  Please post the link to the information that show whether or not your networking devices are ready for IPv6.  For example http://www.linksys.com/en-us/ipv6 shows which Linksys router are IPv6 ready.

Static vs Dynamic IP Addresses

Explain the differences.  Why would you use one over the other?  Give scenarios where one is better than the other.

Nat vs PAT vs SNAT

There are two types of Dynamic Routing protocols.  Compare and contrast the two.  Which is is more commonly used on Cisco routers?

DNS Problem

You are maintaining your local DNS.  For testing a new app, you want to make specified workstations go to a different server than the one specified in DNS, but you can’t modify the app code.  You also can’t change the DNS entry on the server because it may cause everybody in the company to go to the new temporary server.  So, you just want to have a small group of workstations to be redirected to a different server.  How would you do this?  Explain your answer.

Unlimited Lease Time with DHCP

Is there a problem with using DHCP but setting up the lease time to “unlimited”?  What is the difference between doing it this way and just using Static IP Addressing?
