The IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment (IP6FD) is a five-day course that provides individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement and configure the IP version 6 (IPv6) features of Cisco IOS Software. The training also provides an overview of IPv6 technologies; covers IPv6 design and implementation; describes IPv6 operations, addressing, routing, services, and transition; and describes deployment of IPv6 in enterprise networks as well as in service provider networks. The training also includes case studies that are useful for deployment scenarios and remote labs.
Prerequisites
- A valid CCNA certification or higher Cisco certification is recommended.
- Understanding of networking and routing on CCNP level is recommended.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Describe the factors that led to the development of IPv6 and possible uses of this new IP structure.
- Describe the structure of the IPv6 address format, how IPv6 interacts with Data Link layer technologies and how IPv6 is supported in Cisco IOS Software.
- Implement IPv6 services and applications.
- Understand the updates to IPv4 routing protocols needed to support IPv6 topologies.
- Understand multicast concepts and IPv6 multicast specifics.
- Evaluate the scenario and desired outcome, and identify the best transition mechanism for the situation.
- Describe security issues, how security for IPv6 is different than for IPv4, and emerging practices for IPv6-enabled networks.
- Describe the deployment strategies with cloud providers and emerging technologies.
