IPv6 Migration Training:

IPv6 Migration Training Course with Hands-On (Online, Onsite, and Classroom Live)

IPv6 overcomes some of the limitations of IPv4, such as the limited address space, while introducing a number of enhancements in areas such as routing and network auto-configuration.  IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years.  With IPv4 networks now migrating to IPv6 worldwide, there is a need for a strong hands-on workshop focusing on IPv6 migration. This IPv6 Migration Training course was designed to address that need.

This IPv6 Migration Training course is a sweeping start-to-finish introduction to Internet Protocol including both IPv4 and IPv6. The standard outline has been structured to emphasize the migration strategy for a simplified, flat backbone. However, the course can be customized to your own network’s architecture and can exclude or include topics to cater to issues of interest to you now and in the near future. The instruction will employ a powerful combination of lecture and discussion led by a leading IP expert, hands-on lab work that will help you acquire a job-specific analysis and troubleshooting skills, and a workshop day at the end of the course devoted to a full day of detail-level planning for migration to IPv6.

What’s Included?

• 4 days of  IPv6 Migration Training with an expert instructor
• IPv6 Migration Training Electronic Course Guide
• Certificate of Completion
• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee

Customize It:

• Let us know your reason for studying IPv6 so we can customize the IPv6 Migration Training course to your specific needs.
• If you do possess prior knowledge of IPv4, the IPv4 material can be omitted, resulting in some time savings.  The IPv6 Migration Training course can also be shortened by excluding the migration planning that is included on the fourth day.
• The IPv6 Migration Training course is normally taught workshop-style with the participants using WireShark to engage in hands-on exercises. The course can be optionally taught as a tutorial that does not include hands-on work.

Audience/Target Group

• This IPv6 Migration Training course is aimed at I/T and telecom professionals who require a hands-on workshop to help them with IPv6 migration preceded by an up-front review of key IPv4 concepts.

Prerequisites

• You should have some prior knowledge of or on-the-job experience with IPv4.

Objectives:

After completing this IPv6 Migration Training course, attendees will be able to:

• Migration strategies for implementing IPv6
• Configure different IPv6 transition methods for tunneling IPv6 traffic over current IPv4 networks
• Review different advanced deployment methods using DS-LITE, NAT64, DNS64, and 6th (Rapid Deployment)
• Implement IPv6 over EIGRPv6, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, BGP, and MPLS networks
• Current security concerns related to IPv6 and how to protect your company’s infrastructure from new IPv6 vulnerabilities
• Plan and manage your migration strategy
