The knowledge and skills you are expected to have before attending this course are:

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

• Describe the factors that led to the development of IPv6, and the possible uses of this new IP structure
• 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 Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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
• Describe the standards bodies that define IPv6 address allocation, as well as one of the leading IPv6 deployment issues, multihoming
• Describe the deployment strategies that service providers are facing when deploying IPv6
