Agenda:

  • Fundamentals and Addressing
    • Why IPv6? History, drivers, standards
    • IPv6 address structure: architecture, notation, types (Unicast, Multicast, Anycast)
    • Interface Identifier & subnetting with IPv6

  • Configuration and Autoconfiguration
    • SLAAC, DHCPv6, DAD, Privacy Extensions
    • Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
    • Configuration of clients and routers under Linux

  • Routing, DNS and Troubleshooting
    • Static routing, OSPFv3, optional IS/IS, BGP
    • DNS with IPv6: AAAA, PTR, DNS64
    • ICMPv6, Path MTU Discovery, MLD

  • Migration and Network Planning
    • IPv6 address planning (Global, ULA, PI/PA, procurement thereof)
    • Dual Stack, Tunneling, Transition Mechanisms (NAT64, 6rd, DS-Lite)
    • Migration scenarios and best practices

  • Security, Design & Troubleshooting
    • Attack vectors: Rogue RAs, ND spoofing, RA Guard
    • Firewall concept adaptations, Secure Neighbor Discovery (SEND)
    • Design review: IPv6-only vs. Dual Stack

  • Special features:
    • Dedicated lab environments (physical and/or central lab server)
    • Practical examples from enterprise and carrier environments

Objectives:

After completion of the training NT110 IPv6 Fundamentals and Migration participants will be able to:

  • Apply IPv6 addressing and subnetting correctly
  • Configure IPv6 in common operating systems
  • Understand IPv6 specific routing protocols and DNS integration
  • Migrate existing IPv4 networks to IPv6 securely and scalably
  • Systematically analyze and resolve typical error sources
  • Work independently into new topics around IPv6 (self-help guidance)

Target audience:

The course NT110 IPv6 Fundamentals and Migration is primarily targeted at:

  • System and network administrators with IPv4 experience
  • IT professionals who want to plan, operate or migrate IPv6 networks
  • Technical project managers and consultants with focus on network infrastructure

Prerequisites:

To be able to follow the course content and learning pace of the workshop NT110 IPv6 Fundamentals and Migration effectively, you should bring the following prerequisites:

  • Solid understanding of network technologies (IPv4, routing, DNS, TCP/IP)
  • Basic knowledge of (network) operating systems (Linux and/or optionally CISCO, JunOS, Arista, …)
  • Initial hands-on experience with network configuration (CLI)

Description:

IPv6 is not coming sometime, it is already here and the elementary foundation for future-proof networks. The workshop NT110 IPv6 Fundamentals and Migration provides comprehensive knowledge for configuration, planning and troubleshooting in IPv6-based networks. From fundamentals through addressing, autoconfiguration, routing and DNS to migration and security, participants learn to understand, deploy and securely master IPv6 in production environments.

The course follows the progressive and iterative concept of theory, hands-on phase and deepening. Each topic area is covered with direct and independent implementation in a lab environment, including realistic exercises incl. troubleshooting. Great emphasis is placed on self-learning and experiencing, with the trainer providing support.
