IPv6 Fundamentals: A Straightforward Approach to Understanding IPv6
Course Code: CS-IPv6F
Organizations are increasingly transitioning to IPv6, the next-generation protocol for defining how devices of all kinds communicate over networks. This 5-day course will instill the knowledge and skills you need to deploy and operate IPv6 networks.
This course is intended for individuals working in an enterprise IT environment.
The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
- Fundamental Routing and Switching knowledge
- Fundamental understanding of networking technologies and network design and deployment
- CCNA Recommended
On completion of this course, participants should be familiar with:
- How IPv6 supports modern networks encompassing the cloud, mobile, IoT, and gaming devices
- Comparing IPv6 with IPv4 to see what has changed and what hasn’t
- Understand and represent IPv6 addresses for unicast, multicast, and anycast environments
- Master all facets of dynamic IPv6 address allocation with SLAAC, stateless DHCPv6, and stateful DHCPv6
- Understand all the features of deploying IPv6 addresses in the network including temporary addresses and the privacy extension
- Improve operations by leveraging major enhancements built into ICMPv6 and ICMPv6 Neighbour Discovery Protocol
- Configure IPv6 addressing and Access Control Lists using a common topology
- Iplement routing of IPv6 packets via static routing, EIGRP for IPv6, and OSPFv3
- Step-by-step through deploying IPv6 in existing networks, and coexisting with or transitioning from IPv4
There is no exam associated with this course.
