Migrating to IPv6
You Will Learn How To
  • Implement a successful transition to IPv6 using proven techniques
  • Simplify network management by taking advantage of auto configuration
  • Ensure the compliance of applications with IPv6
  • Build tunnels and dual stacks to achieve IPv6 and IPv4 network coexistence
  • Deploy enhanced routing protocols to simultaneously support IPv6 and IPv4
  • Secure IPv6 communication using IPsec

Course Benefits
IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol, extending network capabilities to support the strenuous demands of modern applications while creating a platform for future growth and innovation. In this course, you gain the knowledge and skills to design, implement, verify and troubleshoot an IPv6 network within your organization.

Who Should Attend
Technical personnel, planners, managers, network administrators and application developers. Familiarity with TCP/IP and networking concepts at the level of Course 367, "TCP/IP Comprehensive Introduction," is assumed.

Hands-On Training
An evolving case study provides you with the skills to migrate your existing network to IPv6. Exercises include:
  • Installing and configuring IPv6 on hosts and routers
  • Examining headers and protocols with Wireshark
  • Architecting an IP addressing scheme
  • Implementing and troubleshooting auto configuration
  • Exploring IPv6-enhanced applications
  • Configuring and verifying tunnels to establish internetwork communication
  • Deciphering router configurations
  • Deploying IPsec to secure business communications
