This paper reports both the design and implementation of an IPv6 network for easy and efficient transition from IPv4. A model that has a native IPv6 network in the central office of a corporate network using transitional mechanisms for the connection into an IPv4 Internet, IPv6 Internet, and remote offices is implemented. This is intended to offer a viable alternative for implementing IPv6 natively, without losing access to IPv4 services and incurring the disadvantages of other approaches in terms of both management and security requirements, inherently  present  in  the  simultaneously  operation  of  IPv4  and  IPv6.  The  GNS3  software  integration  with  VirtualBox  represents  a  tool  that  allows  testing  within  a  single  computer  to  validate  each  of  the  steps  in  the  process of migration to IPv6, without disrupting an operating IPv4 network.
