This lesson is 1 of several that will be posted here. This course will cover IPv6 protocol in detail and I will compare the differences between the IPv4 to IPv6, and the benefits that IPv6 brings to the future of networking.
Students will get a thorough understanding of IPv6 and how we would implement it in a real world environment.
We will discuss the format of an IPv6 address, and breakdown the different components, like the Network Prefix, Interface ID, what each 16 bit section does and specifically the subnetting section of IPv6. We will learn about the new types of addresses that comes with IPv6, its configurations using RIPng, EIGRP for IPv6, OSPFv3 using both static assigned addresses and the EUI-64 format. We will also learn about the transition methods such as ISATAP, 6to4, and NAT-PT.
