Interactive Institutional Deployment Roadmap Generator
Turn diagnostic audits into structured execution across 4 distinct phases. Assign responsible roles, track milestones, and download customized compliance checklists for your ICT steering committee.
Phase 1: Discovery & Audit (Months 1-2)
1 / 2 DoneConduct Complete Asset & IP Address Inventory
Catalogue all edge routers, core switches, firewalls, enterprise software, and cloud instances to verify hardware/software IPv6 compatibility.
Evaluate Upstream ISP Transit & Peering SLAs
Engage with primary and backup transit providers (MTN, Airtel, RENU, Liquid) to verify native BGP IPv6 peering support and SLA terms.
Phase 2: Architecture & Addressing Plan (Months 3-4)
0 / 2 DoneAcquire Official AFRINIC / ISP IPv6 Prefix Allocation
Apply for an independent /32 (or /48) Provider Independent block from AFRINIC or receive a dedicated /48 allocation from your ISP.
Formulate Subnetting Architecture (/64 per VLAN)
Develop a hierarchical hexadecimal subnetting blueprint, allocating standard /64 subnets to every branch, campus building, and data center VLAN.
Phase 3: Pilot & Staging Deployment (Months 5-6)
0 / 2 DoneUpdate Perimeter Firewalls & Security Groups for IPv6
Mirror all critical IPv4 firewall policies (`iptables`, `pfSense`, Cisco ASA/Firepower) to IPv6 and explicitly permit RFC 4890 ICMPv6 packets.
Enable Dual-Stack on Staging Web Servers & DNS
Assign AAAA records and IPv6 virtual IPs (`[::]:443`) to non-critical internal portals or staging subdomains (`staging.institution.ug`).
Phase 4: Full Production & Governance (Months 7-12)
0 / 2 DonePublish Production AAAA Records for Primary Domain
Update authoritative zone files to broadcast AAAA records for `www.institution.ug` and main enterprise application gateways.
Enforce Mandatory IPv6-Ready Procurement Policies
Incorporate strict dual-stack RFC compliance clauses into all future IT hardware, cloud hosting, and software vendor contracts.
