You will learn:
- 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
