IPv6 Foundations (H3K67S)

COURSE OVERVIEW

IPv6 was developed as a replacement of IPv4 that delivers significantly larger addressing resources. The new protocol was meant to be an evolution, not a revolution of the Internet Protocol built on the lessons learned from operating IPv4. While sharing many similarities, IPv6 and IPv4 do not interoperate, and several aspects of the protocol have been completely re-written. The course leverages your existing IPv4 experience to help you gain an understanding of basic IPv6 concepts and contextualize them to the specifics of your environment.

WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN

IPv6 Foundations is a 4-day instructor-led, hands-on, lab-heavy training class ideally suited for network and systems engineers of all skill and experience levels. This course provides an understanding of the fundamentals of IPv6, its similarities and differences with respect to IPv4. This course covers the mechanisms developed to facilitate transition, how IPv6 is accommodated in supporting technologies, such as routing protocols, DHCP and DNS, and multicasting as well as security. The course concludes with an overview of the IPv6 transition process.
