IP6FD
Class Overview
Cisco's IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment
, or IP6FD, is a 5-day training class aimed at helping you better understand the current/upcoming transition between IPv4 and IPv6.
This class will provide network engineers and technicians, who are working in the enterprise sector, with the knowledge and skills that are needed to study and configure Cisco IOS software IPv6 features.
This training also provides an overview of IPv6 technologies, examines IPv6 design and implementation, describes IPv6 operations, addressing, routing, services, transition, and deployment of IPv6 in enterprise, as well as service provider networks, and includes case studies useful for deployment scenarios.
Class Details
Objectives
After taking this training, the student should be able to:
- Describe the factors that led to the development of IPv6, and the 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.
- Describe the nature of changes to DNS and DHCP to support IPv6, and how networks can be renumbered using both services.
- Understand the updates to IPv4 routing protocols needed to support IPv6 topologies.
- Understand multicast concepts and IPv6 multicast specifics.
- Describe IPv6 transition mechanisms and which methods will be most effective in your network.
- Describe security issues, how security for IPv6 is different than for IPv4, and emerging practices for IPv6-enabled networks.
- Describe the standards bodies that define IPv6 address allocation, as well as one of the leading IPv6 deployment issues, multihoming.
- Describe the deployment strategies that service providers are facing when deploying IPv6.
Prerequisite Knowledge Advisory
- Cisco CCNA® certification.
- Understanding of networking and routing (at Cisco CCNP® level, but no formal certification is required).
- Working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system.
