IPv6FD IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, Deployment v3.0 Classroom

IPv6FD IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, Deployment v3.0

Course Description

The IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment (IPv6FD) v3.0 course is a five-day, instructor led training course that is a thorough update of the prior v2.0 course by the same name. The v2.0 course combined the IPVSF v1.1 and the IPVSD with no overlap. IPv6FD v3.0 provides the same baseline through advanced technical information and training as did v2.0. The goal is still to prepare the learner for transitioning to IPv6 based networks. IPv6FD v3.0 encompasses design, security, and IPv4 to IPv6 transition mechanisms, while providing hands-on experience to students on real IOS devices. Many of the topics covered in v2.0 have been rewritten into a more concise, consolidated format and several new lessons have been added such as IPv6 Policy-Based Routing, FHRP for IPv6, and Route Redistribution. There is also a whole new module with IPv6 Case Studies. This course will help network engineers understand, configure, and support Cisco devices running IOS software and covers the IPv6 routing protocols of RIPng, OSPFv3, MP-BGP, and IS-IS. There is a reorganized and updated lesson on MPLS VPNs. Security and troubleshooting considerations have been updated and expanded including a new lesson on the Cisco IOS Firewall for IPv6. The design and deployment components present in-depth coverage of IPv6 including DNS, DHCP, and the use of IP Multicast in variety of realistic and typical network environments. All of this and much more is included in this newly revised course.

The course also includes remote labs.
