## IPV6 Agency Address Guidelines

**The guidelines that are being followed are:**
- /48 in the general case, except for very large subscribers
- /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is needed by design
- /128 when it is absolutely known that one device is connecting
**The Agency received from the America Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)**
**IPV6 address allocation:**
- 2001:04d0::/32
**As a result of the prescribed guidelines the Agency IPV6 Address space was assigned**
**in the following manner:**
- NISN			2001:04d0:0000::/40	2001:04d0:3f00::/40
- Spare			2001:04d0:4000::/40	2001:04d0:04d0::/40
- Autonomous System	2001:04d0:8000::/40	2001:04d0:bf00::/40
- Spare			2001:04d0:c000::/40	2001:04d0:ff00::/40
**From the Assigned Logical Space the Testbed was Allocated IPV6 Address Space:**
- NISN Prototype Network (NPN)   2001:04d0:8100::/40
- NASA Research Education Network (NREN)  2001:04d0:9b00::/40

## Current NISN Compliance OMB Direction 

- Completed Initial NISN Hardware Inventory on both the Mission and Mission Support Network
- Currently Documented  Hardware Cost for Non-Compliant Hardware:
- Estimating cost of equipment currently installed
- Determine if compliant equipment is in storage
- Consisting of both the Mission and Mission Support Network
- Initial Analysis of the Impact to the NISN Intrusion Detection Systems is in Progress:
- TCP Dump is IPV6 compliant
- Snort is not enabled for IPV6
- Initial Analysis of the Impact to the Network Management System is Complete. System Consists of Several Services to Manage NISN:
- eHealth
- nGenius
- eLive
- Estimated dates have been provided by the vendor but with no guarantees
