Introduction
This is the keystone foundation module for all our technical workshops.
It gives the participants a solid understanding of IPv6's core concepts and is required for understanding all other IPv6 topics.
On completion of this module you will be able to:
- Identify, write and shorten IPv6 addresses
- List the types of IPv6 addresses and their unique characteristics
- Create an IPv6 address plan for a network
- Identify and list the equivalent IPv4 key protocols in IPv6
- Describe how NDP is used to deliver key IPv6 functions
- Configure and verify basic IPv6 on hosts and routers
