Course Overview
This five-day course aims at providing network engineers and technicians that are working in the enterprise and government sectors with the knowledge and skills that are needed to study and configure Cisco IOS-XE Software IPv6 features.
The course provides the following:
- Overview of IPv6 technologies
- IPv6 design and implementation
- IPv6 operations include: addressing, routing and transitionary methods
- Deployment of IPv6 in enterprise, government and service provider networks
- Case studies useful for deployment scenarios
- Current standards for deploying IPv6 in a single stack or dual stack environment
Who should attend
The primary audience for this course is as follows:
- Network engineers and technicians that are working in the enterprise or service provider sectors.
Prerequisites
The knowledge and skills that a learner should have before attending this course are as follows:
- Cisco CCNA certification or equivalent skillset
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- 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 XE 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.
