Course name: IPv6 tutorial and workshop
This training is delivered in both tutorial and 2 or 3-day workshop variations, depending on the need and level of expertise.
Course description
This course provides:
- An understanding of IPv6, its structure, operation, and technical features
- A detailed discussion of IPv6 addressing and architecture
- An investigation of the issues related to the deployment of IPv6
- An examination of the transition from and its co-existence with IPv4
- IPv6 configuration details
- A demonstration of IPv6 on host computers
- Instruction on how to build and configure an IPv6 network
- A discussion of IPv6 policy and address allocation criteria
- Consideration of the issues and perspectives related the current deployment status of IPv6
Who should attend?
Anyone interested in learning about IPv6, as well as those involved in IPv6 deployment, transition, and configuration will benefit from this training.
The practical workshops are particularly important for operational engineers, and the general discussions and reviews of other issues are highly relevant to managers and other decision makers.
