IPv6 training course description

IPv6 is the next generation Internet Protocol. This hands-on course looks at the benefits and features of the new protocol along with an assessment of the likely impact of the protocol and migration strategies. Practical exercises using PCs and routers follow the major sessions in order to reinforce the theory.

What will you learn
  • Configure PCs and routers for IPv6.
  • Troubleshoot IPv6 networks.
  • Analyse IPv6 packets.
  • Plan migration strategies for IPv6.
  • Integrate IPv6 and IPv4 networks.
