IPv6 COURSE TUTORIAL

     
Course Name:   IPv6 Training: Internetworking with TCP/IP Version 6
     
Deployment Options:   Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
     
Course Duration:   2-3 days depending on audience background and options
 

Introduction:
 
IPv6, or Internet Protocol Version 6, is the "next generation" protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to gradually replace IPv4, the version that has been in use for nearly two decades. IPv6 overcomes some of the limitations of IPv4, such as the limited address space, while introducing a number of enhancements in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years. With the momentum for migration to IPv6 growing worldwide, it has become an important area of study for all involved in internetworking.

This course deals with all of the key issues of implementing and configuring IPv6 networks. We will begin with a quick review of the IPv4 addressing, configuration, subnetting and routing functionality. We will then study the basics of IPv6 addressing and continue into the discussion of implementation and routing functions. We will finish up with a study of the mechanisms that facilitate the co-existence of IPv4 and IPv6.
 
Audience:
 
This course is aimed at the IT and telecommunications professionals and and managers who are charged with implementing IPv6 or who wish to keep up with the evolving next generation networks.
 
Prerequisites:
 
Those wishing to take this course should have a basic knowledge of TCP/IP version 4, routing, configuration, and networking.
 
Customize it:
 
This 2-3-day IPv6 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:
 
  • Identify the limitations of IPv4 and how they are overcome in IPv6
  • Describe the major enhancements offered by IPv6 over IPv4
  • Implement addressing and name resolution
  • Manage and monitor IPv6 traffic
  • Provide for coexistence between IPv4 and IPv6
