The Ultimate IPv6 Deep-Dive for Engineers
Master the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to lead IPv6 projects that get it right on the first try. Our teach, explore practice method ensures you develop skills
3 KEY TAKE-AWAYS
1 | Address Plan
You'll create the perfect IPv6 Address Plan that's consistent with best current operational practice.
2 | Provisioning Strategy
You'll master the intricacies of provisioning IPv6 configuration using SLAAC, stateful and stateless DHCPv6, DHCPv6-PD etc.
3 | Routing & Transition Strategy
You'll be able to determine the best transition technique to use for any given scenario, and what it takes to implement it.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Analyze IPv4 exhaustion implications on your organization
- Correctly configure IPv6 on Windows, MacOS, Linux and routers
- Compare and contrast IPv4 and IPv6
- Create an IPv6 address plan for any network
- Interpret all Neighbour Discovery messages
- Design and implement IPv6 provisioning mechanisms
- Implement intra & inter-domain IPv6 routing
- Formulate a Transition strategy for any network
TARGET AUDIENCE
This strictly for engineers who already run IPv4 networks. Typical titles are:
- Network Engineer
- Network Administrator
- Network Analysist
- Systems Engineer
- Systems Administrator
- Systems Analyst
PRE-REQUISITES
You must demonstrate knowlege, skills and experience in the following domains:
- IP subnetting and VLSM
- Intra-domain routing (OSPFv2 or IS-IS)
- Understanding of how BGP works
- Network OSes Cisco IOS, JUNOS, RouterOS etc
- Use of utilitities like ping, traceroute, tcpdump etc
- Use the Linux/Unix operating system
- Setup and run DNS, DHCP, RADIUS etc
