Course Overview

IP version 6 (IPv6) is widely recognised as the protocol and network standard that the Internet, mobile networks, mobile devices, and indeed all IP networks, will migrate to.

This unique hands-on practical IPv6 training course provides an in-depth insight into IPv6 features, benefits, operation, co-existence with IPv4 and migration to IPv6.

Audience

Network managers, designers, consultants and support staff responsible for planning or supporting IPv4 networks, and all staff responsible for evaluating or implementing IPv6. Vendors of IPv4 and IPv6 products will find this IPv6 course invaluable.

Prerequisites

Delegates must have a thorough understanding of IPv4 protocols, addressing, implementation, configuration and testing on Microsoft Windows systems prior to attending this IPv6 training course. Course 313: IPv4 Protocols, Analysis, Troubleshooting and Support, or equivalent experience, is recommended.
