IPv6 Advanced Training Course
This course is restricted to RIPE NCC members only.
Description
This two-day course provides an in-depth coverage of key topics regarding the deployment of IPv6 in different types of networks. The participant will gain insight into industry best practices and develop a high-level understanding of the different stages of IPv6 rollout.
To attend this course, you must have participated in the "IPv6 Fundamentals Training Course"
or have followed the "IPv6 Fundamentals e-learning course" in the RIPE NCC Academy.
NOTE: If you have already deployed IPv6 on your network, this course may not be appropriate for you. Please read the pre-requisites, course content and goals before registering.
You should attend this training course if you are a network engineer or a network manager and want to deploy IPv6 in your network. You should:
-
Have basic knowledge of IPv6 and want to learn more about implementing IPv6 across different types of networks
-
Have experience with IPv4 routing
-
Want to learn more about designing an IPv6 Transition Strategy
Pre-requisites
It is assumed you are familiar with:
-
IPv4
-
IPv6 Fundamental level: IPv6 notation, header information, DHCPv6, NDP
-
IP networking basics: concepts and protocols TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP),
-
For the Labs: Basic understanding of CLI and command line tools.
