IPv6
A hands-on workshop course to master the fundamentals of the IPv6 protocol. We'll dive deeper into the details IPv6 brings to network design and management.
IPv6 has many more benefits than a larger address space: simpler network planning and management, new applications, leaner networks.
This training is being updated for every scheduled training with the latest RFCs and news from the IETF and vendor.
Who is this for? Networking professionals and DDI administrators. This training is designed for people that may or may not already have some IPv6 experience and knowledge, but want to dive deeper into the details IPv6 brings to network design and management.
Length: 3 full days (6 hours/day = 18 hours)
