I’ve spent more than a few years over the years in various web-based rabbit holes online researching examples of how to try and remove any remaining barriers to turning off IPv4 on my (or any other) WAN. There’s plenty of resources out there but none that I found which completely explain the FULL end-to-end deployment. This blog post will set out to document that a little better for (mainly) future me to use as a reference but obviously for anyone that needs it to reference.

• I needed to road-test my employer’s “Agile Connect” SD-WAN product which is based on Nokia Nuage Network’s VNS SD-WAN offering and had to carve off a new VLAN to plug the NSG-E into.

and

• I wanted to ensure my HOMELAN was completely v6-ified once again following several months using Google Wifi without my hosts having native v6.

Connecting my NSG

There are a couple of us in BT Ireland that have been given the task of road-testing the NSGs and indeed our service wrap for this technology which has a product name of “Agile Connect”. The intention is that we have active familiarity with the technology when we are doing customer engagement and can demonstrate our orchestration and reporting portal with ease and comfort.
