Ok, so I've been using ONA for a little over 2 years to maintain records on our network and IP assignments. We just received a block of IPv6 addresses from ARIN (an absolutely obseen number of addresses I might add :^) and I need to manage them as I do our v4 blocks.

I read a comment from Matt that the devel release supports v6 so I upgraded our server and tried it. No good. There's not even enough space in the form entries to accommodate the addresses.

So, I've been looking through the files, but I've not done any coding in 15 years or more, and most of what I used to do was nothing like this stuff, so I would appreciate some pointers at what I should start looking at. I assume that the DB will need to be modified to accommodate these addresses. I also know that the web pages will have to be modified. That else do I likely need to look into and check?

Don

Yes ipv6 is a totally crazy amount of addresses!..

So, as it stands right now, the current code release tarball that is available via our download pages does not contain any IPv6 functionality. It is a task still remaining to fully merge the ipv6 branch back into the main code base. The more testing that can be done the better when it comes to that.

For anyone willing to do some testing you should be able to do the following:

svn co http://opennetadmin.com/svn/ona/branches/ipv6/ ona-ipv6

That will check out the current ipv6 code to the directory ona-ipv6. For right now I dont have all the install scripts updated to convert the database to using IPv6. You will have to point this at a new database instance for now. But you can at least define your subnets/hosts etc to test it out at that level.

Hope that helps for now. Still working on it.
