- 2-4 day(s)
- Aimed At
-
This course is aimed at network design and architecture professionals with an average of 3-5 year experience who are migrating ISP access and backbone interconnection to IPv6.
- Prerequisites
-
Participants should have a solid understanding of IPv4 packet network architectures, operations and protocols. There is no coverage of IPv4 in this course. The only references to IPv4 are for purposes of comparison and understanding IPv6. To get the most from this course, participants should also have a working knowledge of WireShark.
- Course in a Nutshell
-
IPv6 is the NextGen protocol designed by the IETF to supplant IPv4, the version that has been in use for over two decades. IPv6 overcomes some of the limitations of IPv4, such as the limited address space, while introducing a number of enhancements in areas such as routing and network auto-configuration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years. With IPv4 networks now migrating to IPv6 worldwide, there is need for a strong hands-on workshop focusing on the IPv6 migration. This course was designed to address that need.
The course provides an overview of RFC 3775, Mobility Support in IPv6, RFC 4283, Mobile Node Identifier Option for Mobile IPv6, RFC 4285, Authentication Protocol for Mobile IPv6, Dual Stack operation and supporting knowledge, and is customizable to include other topics that are relevant to your network’s IPv6 migration.
- Customize It!
-
Let us know your reason for studying IPv6 so we can customize the course to your specific needs.
If you do not possess prior knowledge of IPv4, the course can be expanded to cover the IPv4 basics upfront.
The course can be taught as an action learning workshop with the addition of a fourth day dedicated to the discussion of your particular implementation issues.
A two-day version of this course that covers the subject in less depth is also available.
The course is normally taught workshop-style with the participants using WireShark to engage in hand-on exercises. The course can be optionally taught as a tutorial that does not include the hands-on work.
