IPv6 Webinars
Introduction to IPv6
Main: Feb 4, 2021
Lab: Feb 11, 2021
To be successful in implementing and understanding IPv6 networks, you need to first understand the IPv6 address methodology which is, in many ways, a fundamental change from the IPv4 paradigm. In this introduction, you will become familiar with what is different as well as what is the same with IPv6.
• Public and private addresses
• IPv6 Prefixes
• IPv6 Address Structure
• IPv6 Interface ID
• IPv6 Addressing and Address Allocation Methods (stateless, statefull)
• Address types, unicast, multicast, anycast
• Address categories: global, site local, link local
• Unique Local Unicast addresses
• Zero compression
• Special addresses (loopback, unspecified, IPv4 mapped IPv6)
• Broadcast address elimination
This webinar will be followed by a hands-on lab to illustrate the concepts shown. You do not need any equipment to participate. We will send full instructions so that if you wish, you may do the same commands / exercises but this is entirely optional.
