IPv6 for Managers

Introduction

An often cited excuse for the lukewarm attitude towards IPv6 deployment has been "the business side doesn't see the need" or "there is no business case".

In order to bring total alignment within organisations, we realised that not only do we need to train the engineers on how to build the infrastructure and the service, but we also need to help the people that manage these engineers how to think strategically about IPv6 and support their technical guys in IPv6 deployment.

Effective IPv6 deployment is a more than configuring hardware. It requires proper planning, effective project management as well as integration into an organisation's business model and operations.

After attending this workshop, participants will be able to:

Identify the risks involved in not deploying IPv6.
List the opportunities that IPv6 will bring to their business.
Create a high level IPv6 implementation plan
Know what key questions to ask of their technical teams

Pre-requisites

Preparation

Once invited for the workshop, participants should head to our website, download and review the relavant training materials. Participants to technical workshops are also required to come along with their own laptops which must have the following utilities installed:

Virtualbox - a virtualisation software available for free
A telnet and/or SSH client to use to log into remote equipment. If your operating system does not have these installed, you can download and install the following free ones such as Putty and Terraterm

The AFRINIC whois client freely available from here

Please note that although most Linux/unix operation systems have a whois client, these do not support most of the flags used by the AFRINIC whois server.
