IPv6 Webinars
Introduction to IPv6
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.
IPv6 Address Planning
Main: Apr 8, 2021
Lab: Apr 15, 2021
QnA: Apr 29, 2021
The agenda topics include:
-
Review the important prefixes needed for an IPv6 address plan,
-
Discuss how a good address plan makes security and routing policy easier,
-
Consider numbering your LAN segment, SSID, or VLAN,
-
Consider numbering for sites, backbone, links,
-
Consider how to remember your addresses for diagnostics and troubleshooting, and
-
Look at plans that other enterprises have done.
IPv6 Transition Technology
Enterprises rarely switch over from IPv4 to IPv6 in one step. Generally, companies will run dual-stack for a time, where both IPv4 and IPv6 are available on devices. This doesn't solve most of the problems IPv6 was designed to solve, so we will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of:
-
Dual-stack
-
NAT44
-
Dual-stack Lite
-
NAT64/DNS64
-
464xlat
-
MAP-T
-
MAP-E
-
IPv6-Only
