Cisco hosted a one hour webinar last Thursday called “5 Steps to Meet
the September 30 IPv6 Deadline,”. The free webinar was designed to help
government agencies meet the September 30, 2012 deadline for
compliance with the latest IPv6 Internet protocol.
The World
IPv6 has passed its one year mark now since its launch. It
was officially released on June 8 and the deadline for the update is only days
away. But according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), only 1% of federal websites are supporting the IP on their email, , DNS
and web services.
Amy Blanchard (Cisco
Marketing manager) stated that “We at Cisco understand the urgency and
difficulty of this change, therefore have partnered with the Digital Government
Institute to host a free one-hour webinar on Aug. 30 (2 p.m. ET) that will give
attendees the tools, as well as outline five steps, to help your agency move
quickly toward compliance as the clock ticks down”.
The Webinar included the
following topics:
· How to get
your agency on the road to compliance
· Where to
find agency help in the federal government
· How to
get the best services from the GSA schedules
· About
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) IPv6 standards and how IPv6 has been
integrated into a long list of USGv6-certified products
· How five
federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, have
already made the transition.
