IPv6 Fundamentals Workshop
Ready or not, IPv6 is here!
IPv6 was developed more than a decade ago, but now is being implemented by both service providers and companies alike primarily due to the lack of IPv4 addresses. This one day hands-on will cover IPv6 concepts, IPv6 Address Basics, and IPv6 basic configuration in a Cisco infrastructure. This workshop is suitable for network engineers, network operators or Systems/IT admin who are responsible about network operation in their organization.
