3-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, especially considering the current address consumption in IPv4. 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.
- “What is the next generation of IP (IPv6) and why it matters?”
- “What must I know about IPv6 that will affect my network?”
- “How does IPv6 addressing work and why would I use/not use it?”
- “How do I integrate IPv6 with IPv4?”
Course 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 (RIPng, OSPF, BGP)
- Multicast and Anycast IPv6 Features
These objectives are met by covering the necessary technical bases in a straight forward manner, by keep the content in context of the objectives – connecting the dots. Utilizing a short, subject specific architecture with exercises to drive home key points and Hands-On experience that reveal these points builds skills and knowledge based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. The presentation is always industry current and up-to-date using a technology specialists.
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
Course Prerequisites:
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 in IP networking and operations, however no prior knowledge is necessary.
All students must attend with a lap-top computer preferrably running Windows 7 or later 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.
