IPv6 Fundamentals, Design and Deployment v2.0
The IPv6 Fundamentals, Design and Deployment (IP6FD) 2.0 course is a five-day course that combines the IPVSF v1.1 and IPVSD with no overlap. IP6FD v2.0 provides baseline through advanced technical information and training on the next-generation Internet protocol, IPv6. The goal of this course is to prepare the learner for transitioning to IPv6 based networks. IP6FD encompasses design considerations, security considerations, configuration principles, configuring Cisco IOS devices for IPv6 and IPv6 transition mechanisms. Throughout the course students will be presented the principles, concepts and practices for IPv6 deployment. This course will help network engineers understand, configure, and support Cisco devices running IOS software and covers the IPv6 routing protocols such as RIPng, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS; IPv6 transition mechanisms including tunnels, ISATAP, NAT-PT, and 6to4; and other features. The design and deployment components present in depth coverage of IPv6 design and deployment for DNS, DHCP, integrating IPv6 in an IPv4 network, Multicast, and much more.
Objectives
Upon finishing this course, you will be able to:
