Why this IPv6 course?
IP version 6 (IPv6) is widely recognised as the protocol and network standard that the Internet, mobile networks, mobile devices, and indeed all IP networks, will migrate to. This unique hands-on practical IPv6 training course provides an in-depth insight into IPv6 features, benefits, operation, co-existence with IPv4 and migration to IPv6.
Who should attend this IPv6 course
- Network managers, network designers, networks consultants and IT support staff responsible for planning or supporting IPv4 or IPv6 networks.
- All staff responsible for evaluating or implementing IPv6.
- Vendors of IPv4 and IPv6 products.
IPv6 Course Pre-requisites
Delegates must have a thorough understanding of IPv4 protocols, addressing, implementation, configuration and testing on Microsoft Windows systems prior to attending this IPv6 training course. Course 313: IPv4 Protocols, Analysis, Troubleshooting and Support, or equivalent experience, is recommended.
Hands-on Practicals
This intensive IPv6 course features carefully-crafted hands-on practical labs. Delegates work with current implementations of IPv6, including IPv6 on Cisco routers, IPv6 on Microsoft Windows.
Lifetime Post-Course Support
After completing this IPv6 training course, delegates receive lifetime post-training support from LEVER Technology Group, to help them apply the technologies and skills they have learned with us, to provide career-long support, and to ensure they are better equipped for their future roles in IT and networking.
