Hello everyone, and welcome to INE's IPv6 on Cisco Fundamental course.
My name is David Smith, and I will be your instructor for this course.
There's my information along with my email address,
if anybody has any questions while we're going through this
feel free to hit me up with an email any time.
I'll talk a little about who this course is intended for.
I put on here CCNA/CCNP just because our focus is a bit on Cisco here,
but what it really comes down to is we just need you
to have some experience with IPv4.
We're not going to be trying to teach IP itself from the ground up.
So there's a certain understanding here that you should already know
how IPv4 works, what TCP is, what UDP is, because those haven't changed.
So really just a really good bare minimum CCNA level,
preferably a CCNP level of experience with IPv4,
or some other vendor's equivalent certification
or knowledge base is perfectly fine.
It's just we're not going to be teaching from the ground up.
I'm going to be presenting most of this course from the perspective of,
here's what you already know about IPv4, and now here is what's changed in IPv6.
That said, again, our focus is going to be on Cisco equipment.
So as I go through we're going to be doing a whole bunch of CLI,
looking at how these things work.
We'll be looking at everything from automatic addressing with DHCP,
or slack, or stateless auto-configuration,
all the way up through BGP.
We'll do some IPv6 over DMVPN - some things like this.
Now, again, some of these more advanced features,
as we get to them, maybe a little bit over the head of some people,
especially if maybe you're just at the CCNA level,
maybe you haven't hit all of these things just yet.
But I want to try and hit everything from... not the basic basics,
but from the beginning, all the way to some of the more advanced features.
A lot of this stuff, we're going to be doing it on Cisco
equipment, but when it comes to being a client,
that client can either be a Windows machine,
a Mac, Linux, a Cisco router.
We're going to be using Cisco equipment,
just because it's convenient.
I have a rack of equipment that we're going to be using for the course,
and so on. But really, most of the things we're going to be
talking about apply to anything.
So, like I said, we'll be using Cisco for the CLI,
and for some of the specific things, it will be Cisco-specific,
but a lot of it is going to apply to any and all platforms.
