Migrating to IPv6
The migration of an IPv4 environment to an IPv6 environment requires a thorough understanding of the differences between the two protocols, as well as mechanisms for backwards compatibility with networks that have yet to complete the transition to an IPv6 implementation. As such this course will review the differences and similarities between IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, structure, header information, as well as host and router roles within the protocols. The course will cover host, router and server roles in the new IPv6 environment, as well as mechanisms for distribution of IPv6 addresses, both stateless and stateful. Additionally, dual stacked environments will be addressed to facilitate IPv6 migration seamlessly. Furthermore, the course will present and elaborate upon IPv6 migration essentials such as the role of security in IPv6 environments, routing, routing protocols and their IPv6 implementations. It will also present IPv6 in mobile environments and techniques for managing IPv6 environments post migration.
PREREQUISITES
As a prerequisite for this course students must have a fundamental understanding of the IPv6 addressing scheme, as well as a basic understanding of networking protocols. This understanding can be found in the IPv6 Fundamentals course or can be obtained through alternate training or a combination of training and experience.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental differences between IPv4 and IPv6, addressing, and protocol administration
- Understand and interpret the IPv6 header structure and the differences as compared to IPv4
- Describe the implementation of IPv6 host-based configuration protocols including DHCPv6 and SLAAC
- Configure dynamic routing protocols in an IPv6 environment
- Understand effective ways to implement IPv4 to IPv6 address conversion strategies
- Understand and implement dual stack concepts such as NAT64 and DNS64
- Explain security as it relates to IPv6 including topics such as IPv6 Access Lists, IPSEC as well as additional security concerns associated with IPv4 to IPv6 migration
