Mastering IPv6 Networking Through Practical Simulations

What you'll learn

The basics of IPv6, including its necessity, key features, and how it differs from IPv4.

IPv6 addressing and configuration, including practical hands-on labs.

Configuring IPv6 routing protocols such as OSPFv3 and setting up dual-stack environments.

Advanced topics like Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), DHCPv6, and IPv6 Access Control Lists (ACLs).

We'll even explore concepts like IPv6 tunneling over IPv4, despite the limitations of Packet Tracer.

We'll also provide valuable troubleshooting techniques and cover common IPv6 issues, so you'll leave this course ready to diagnose and resolve problems.

Requirements

A fundamental understanding of networking concepts, such as IP addressing, subnetting, and how routers and switches work.

Familiarity with the OSI model and common network protocols like TCP/IP.

Some prior experience with IPv4 configuration and addressing will help you grasp the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 more easily.

While this course focuses on IPv6, a passion for learning new networking technologies is key. No prior experience with IPv6 is required.
