Converting IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses ------------------------------------------- Here's a cool tool for doing it in windows: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/IP-Tools/IPConvert.shtml Here's the main ipv6 website: http://www.ipv6.org There's a good read at Microsfoft on tcp/ip fundamentals and subnetting: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/network/evaluate/ technol/tcpipfund/tcpipfund_ch04.mspx#EEIAG Here are some OpenBSD related sites: http://www.inet6.dk/config/openbsd.html http://www.sans.org/reading_room/whitepapers/firewalls/807.php I'm sure there are scads more. Google is your friend! ;) Here are a few more, more general or linux: http://enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsp/article.php/3634596 http://enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsp/article.php/3629546 http://enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netsp/article.php/3633211 The examples below are pretty simple Class C network examples. I put several sequential addresses in order to show the progression in IPv6 notation. -------------------------------------------- IPV4 Address: 192.168.1.100 IPV6 Address: IPv6 Full Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0164 IPv6 Shorthand Adress: ::C0A8:0164 IPv6 & Dot Notation Full Address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.100 IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand Adress: 192.168.1.100 -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- IPV4 Address: 192.168.1.101 IPV6 Address: IPv6 Full Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0165 IPv6 Shorthand Adress: ::C0A8:0165 IPv6 & Dot Notation Full Address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.101 IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand Adress: 192.168.1.101 -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- IPV4 Address: 192.168.1.102 IPV6 Address: IPv6 Full Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0166 IPv6 Shorthand Adress: ::C0A8:0166 IPv6 & Dot Notation Full Address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.102 IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand Adress: 192.168.1.102 -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- IPV4 Address: 192.168.1.103 IPV6 Address: IPv6 Full Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0167 IPv6 Shorthand Adress: ::C0A8:0167 IPv6 & Dot Notation Full Address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.103 IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand Adress: 192.168.1.103 -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- IPV4 Address: 192.168.1.104 IPV6 Address: IPv6 Full Address 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:C0A8:0168 IPv6 Shorthand Adress: ::C0A8:0168 IPv6 & Dot Notation Full Address: 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:192.168.1.104 IPv6 & Dot Notation Shorthand Adress: 192.168.1.104 --------------------------------------------
