2 Day Instructor Led Hands On Lab Class

Course Description:

Knowing the fundamentals of the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is vital to anyone who is in the networking field today, whether it be Service Provider level or Enterprise level. This insightful and revealing course has been designed to focus on the systems approach, the engineering thinking behind the IPv6 design and implementation.

The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with hands-on exercises using Cisco routers and Cisco IOS, revealing the details of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable way.
 

Audience:

The target audience for this course is anyone in Engineering, Test, Customer Support, Technical Marketing, or even Sales and Marketing that requires a solid and complete understanding of the fundamental operations of IPv6 Addressing and Routing and desires hands-on skills that can be applied to their job function.

Ideal candidates are:

• Operations individuals that will provide IPv6 configuration and support services
• Network Design Engineers that need to understand IPv6 Addressing and Routing
• Network Management individuals that are providing element and network management tools
• Technical sales individuals that must be able to correlate features with functionality
• Technical marketing individuals that want more than just a basic understanding of IPv6
• Certification Track individuals that need to expand their knowledge and studies
• Network Administrators

Objectives:

To develop a "hands-on" skill set targeted at Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) routing and  networking in the following key areas:

• What is the IPv6 Protocol?
• How does it improve IPv4?
• What does IPv6 addressing look like and how is it used?
• IPv6 Usage in Routing (OSPF, IS-IS, BGP)
• IPv6 Usage in MPLS (L3VPN)
• Multicast and Anycast IPv6 Features

Prerequisite

This course to appeals to anyone needing the skills and knowledge of Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) routing and networking. The ideal student will have some experience inIP networking and operations, however no prior knowledge is necessary.

All students must attend with a lap-top computer in order to interface to the Router Lab. If the course is held at a classroom where computers are available, the Lap-top computer will not be required.

Course Materials:

Students will be provided with a Course Student Guide and a Lab Guide. Also, a lab system for configuration and labs will be provided.
