The IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment (IP6FD) course provides network engineers and technicians who are working in the enterprise sector with the knowledge and skills that are needed to study and configure the IP version 6 (IPv6) features of Cisco IOS Software. The course also provides an overview of IPv6 technologies; covers IPv6 design and implementation; describes IPv6 operations, addressing, routing, services, and transition; and describes deployment of IPv6 in enterprise networks as well as in service provider networks. The course also includes case studies that are useful for deployment scenarios and remote labs.

Pre-Requisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:

  • Understanding of networking and routing (on Cisco CCNP level, but no formal certification is required).
  • Working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system

To gain the prerequisite skills and knowledge, Cisco strongly recommends knowledge of the following courses:

  • Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1 (ICND1)
  • Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 2 (ICND2)

  • Describe the structure of the IPv6 address format, how IPv6 interacts with data link layer technologies, and how IPv6 is supported in Cisco IOS Software
  • Describe the nature of changes to DNS and DHCP to support IPv6, and how networks can be renumbered using both services
  • Understand the updates to IPv4 routing protocols needed to support IPv6 topologies
  • Understand multicast concepts and IPv6 multicast specifics
  • Describe IPv6 transition mechanisms and which methods will be most effective in your network
  • Describe security issues, how security for IPv6 is different than for IPv4, and emerging practices for IPv6-enabled networks
