IPv6 Fundamentals

Revision: TE1205_20060318

Course Length:

2 Days

Course Description:

This course provides baseline technical information and training on the next-generation Internet protocol, IPv6. This course will help network engineers understand, configure, and support Cisco devices running IOS software. It covers the fundamentals of IPv6; routing protocols such as RIPng, OSPF, BGP, and IS-IS; IPv6 transition mechanisms including tunnels, ISATAP, NAT-PT, and 6to4; and other features.

Who Should Attend:

This course is recommended training for Cisco network engineers.

Benefits of Attendance:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the features and benefits of implementing IPv6.
• Describe the operation of IPv6 including neighbor discovery.
• Describe Cisco IOS IPv6 features set.
• Describe the integration and coexistence strategies available for deploying IPv6.
• Design and deploy appropriate mechanism for implementing IPv6 networks.
• Describe, implement, configure, and maintain IPv6 addressing and auto-configuration features.
• Describe, implement, configure, and maintain IPv6 services such as Extended ACL in IPv6 networks.
• Describe, implement, configure, and maintain routing protocols (RIPv6, I/IS-IS, BGP4+) in IPv6 networks.
• Describe, implement, configure, and maintain IPv6 Transition mechanisms such as tunnels and NAT-PT.

Prerequisites:

Students should have routing, switching and access product knowledge and skills equivalent. Working knowledge of all routing protocols is required.
