Introduction:
 
IPv6 is the result of many years of research and activity by the international Internet community. IPv6 provides increased addressing space, improved routing, better security and support for new applications. The implementation of IPv6 is inevitable and will impact on all companies that maintain, implement or use IP networks.

In this course, you will learn how to obtain and implement IPv6 protocols within your organisation on, Unix, Linux, Windows, routers and other networked devices. This course provides extensive hands-on sessions and in-depth technical analysis.
 
Audience:
 
This course is ideal for Unix, Windows and Cisco administrators, network support personnel, etwork designers, networking consultants, IT managers and directors.
 
Prerequisites:
 
A good knowledge of general networking concepts is assumed. IPv4 is reviewed as it is compared and contrasted with IPv6, but experience of IPv4 is necessary.
 
Customize it:
 
This 4-5-day IPv6 Implementation course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s name on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren't too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our standard, one size fits all, class.
 
Objectives:
 

You will learn how to

  • Plan and manage the migration of your network to IPv6
  • Implement new networking software and devices to support IPv6
  • Implement auto-configuration to manage IPv6 addresses
  • Configure the different IPv6 migration tools such as dual-stacks and tunnelling in order to facilitate the transition.
  • Obtain and configure upgrades for common operating systems, including, Unix, Linux, and Windows.
  • Install and configure associated network services, in particular DNS, DHCP and routing protocols.
  • Update and configure common networking applications, ping, FTP, e-mail, and web-servers.
