Course Description
This program is designed to increase practical engineering expertise and hands-on knowledge to tackle complex systems and configurations, extending his/ her confidence by demonstrating that IPv6 will be deployed by qualified engineers.
You will learn to :
- Implementing new networking software and devices to support IPv6
- Implementing auto-configuration to manage IPv6 addresses
- Configuring the different IPv6 migration tools such as tunneling in order to facilitate the transition
- Obtain and configure upgrades for common operating systems
Approach
- This is particle training program that’s conducted in a lab environment. The participants will have a hand on experience as how network systems work. Devices and equipment will be used in the class in-order to help the participants identify these devised. Group discussion and Q&A sessions will be encourages in order for participants to understand thing more clearly.
Prerequisites
- A good knowledge of general networking concepts is assumed. IPv4 is reviewed as it is compared and contrasted with IPv6, but experience on IPv4 is necessary.
- All participants are required to bring a laptop
Objective/ What you will learn?
This course is designed to provide Network Engineers the skills needed to implement IPv6 in multi-vendor, commercial environment.
