Implementing and Maintaining an
IPv6 Network -
Protocols, Procedures and Planning |
 |
|
TCP/IP is a suite of network protocols used on the majority of Local
and Wide Area Networks as well as on the Internet. The current
version of Internet Protocol (IPv4) is to be superseded by a new
version, IPv6, over the next year or two, bringing with it a number
of benefits in terms of security, scalability and network
efficiency.
The focus of this course is to provide technical consultants and
support personnel with a detailed understanding of IPv6 and the
skills required to design, implement and support IPv6 networks.
TCP/IP is not specific to any hardware/OS platform. However,
practical exercises and platform-specific details will be based on
Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
Prerequisites
Delegates must have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Windows
Server 2000/2003 and TCP/IPv4 including IP addressing, subnetting,
routing and Name Resolution
On completion
Delegates will be able to…
Describe the principles of networking with IPv6
Install and configure a IPv6 based network
Understand IP address allocation in an IPv6 network
Install and configure DNS in an IPv6 environment
Understand Neighbor Discovery
Implement Routing in an IPv6 network
Describe IPv4 – Ipv6 coexistence and migration strategies
Understand IPv6 mobility improvements
Troubleshoot IPv6 with a range of tools and utilities
|
Course Length
5 days
Course Style
This course offers a mix of theory and practical
sessions. Approximately half of the course is spent on group and
practical work and delegates will build a network from scratch,
including implementing internetworking, routing, DNS and
co-existence/migration with IPv4.
Who Should Attend
Networking staff that will be designing,
implementing or supporting IPv6 networks. This course has a lot of
detail on the protocols involved and is aimed at network engineers,
with less emphasis on high-level application oriented issues.
