An IPv6 migration is not just a protocol issue, but usually a complex transformation project that affects architecture, operation and governance in equal measure. Sound knowledge of protocols - such as Neighbor Discovery, SLAAC, routing or ICMPv6 - is of course the necessary basis for making viable strategic decisions. Without this understanding, neither security implications nor design options can be realistically evaluated.
However, this workshop deliberately focuses on a different aspect: the focus here is on target architecture, migration paths and concrete implementation.
-
Course Contents
-
- Drivers and constraints for migration (cloud, providers, customers, IPv4 scarcity, security/compliance, modernization, etc.)
- Migration goals/options (permanent dual-stack, IPv6-first, comprehensive IPv6-only, IPv6-only core, etc.)
- Assess current status and maturity level – define IPv6 readiness of various products and systems
- Addressing concept (prefix strategy, hierarchical design, ULA vs. GUA, numbering logic, etc.)
- Migration models and transition architectures
- Security architecture
- LAN & campus migration
- Data center & cloud
- IPv6-only & mostly IPv6 scenarios
- Governance & roadmap
- Operation & obstacles
-
Target Group
-
This workshop is aimed at anyone who is involved in the actual migration of a company network towards IPv6.
-
Knowledge Prerequisites
-
Solid basic knowledge of IPv6, such as can be acquired in our course IPv6 - Addressing, Routing and IPv4 Interworking or even better PowerPackage IPv6 - Addressing, Routing, Interworking, Security, is a prerequisite for this workshop.
-
Course Objective
-
After attending the course, you will have a concrete idea of what an IPv6 migration, the migration target and the path to it could look like in your own infrastructure. You will know how to set up an address concept and understand the security and operational implications. You now have a rough roadmap for the implementation of your own migration.
-
Complementary and Continuative Courses
-
If you're more interested in the technical details of IPv6, you might find the following courses useful:
Wireshark & IPv6 – Analyzing IPv6 Networks
IPv6 Advanced Networking – Network Architecture and Protocols
If you work primarily in application development or support, you might benefit from this course:
-
Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Online training
- You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.
-
Tailor-made courses
-
You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
