Why study this course

This training course 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.

This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.

Digital courseware: Cisco provides students with electronic courseware for this course. Students who have a confirmed booking will be sent an email prior to the course start date, with a link to create an account via learningspace.cisco.com before they attend their first day of class.

What you’ll learn

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 Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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
