Course IP6105
IPv6 Networking with Cisco Routers

Course Overview

Duration: 5 Days

Intended Audience

The course is aimed at network engineers and administrators and designers who will be working primarily with Cisco routers. Attendees are expected to have a basic knowledge of networks, IPv4 and routing, and to be familiar with the Cisco IOS operating system.

Course Overview

• Foundations of IPv6
• IPv6 routing and tunneling
• ISATAP, NAT-PT and 6to4
• Cisco ACLs and IPv6
• Configuring IPv6 support services on Cisco routers
• Design and configuration of OSPFv3 and IS-IS networks
• Design and configuration of BGP4+ networks
• Overview of Mobile IPv6 and M-BGP

The course is an instructor led course with extensive hands on laboratories. Approximately 30% of the course time will be devoted to hands on laboratories.

Course Benefits

The course provides a sound introduction to IPv6 and how to configure router interfaces for IPv6, to configure and troubleshoot IPv6 routing protocols and to configure Cisco routers to implement mixed IPv6 / IPv4 networks.
