Description

Overview:

The IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment (IP6FD) is a five-day training that provides individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement and configure the IP version 6 (IPv6) features of Cisco IOS Software. The training 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 training also includes case studies that are useful for deployment scenarios and remote labs.

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

  • Cisco CCNA® certification, including either the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1 (ICND1) certification or the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 2 (ICND2) certification
  • Understanding of networking and routing (on Cisco CCNP® level, but no formal certification is required)
  • Working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows operating system

Audience:

The primary audience for this course is as follows:

  • Network Administrators
  • Network Engineers
