IPv6 Forum Certified Network Engineer Training (CNE6)

Plan and Implement IPv6 in a Multi-Vendor, Commercial Environment

You will learn to:

• • Implement new networking software and devices to support IPv6
  • Implement auto-configuration to manage IPv6 addresses
  • Configure the different IPv6 migration tools such as tunneling in order to facilitate the transition
  • Obtain and configure upgrades for common operating systems

Prerequisites

A good knowledge of general networking concepts is assumed. IPv4 is reviewed as it is compared and contrasted with IPv6, but experience on IPv6 is not critical. Knowledge on the level of Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) would be an added advantage.
