Details of our INRM modules are available at http://learn.afrinic.net/index.php/learn-modules/inrm



Course Deliverables | Understanding and Deploying IPv6 | 3 Days
----------------------------------------------------

At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

+ Design an IPv6 address scheme for their organisations.

+ Configure IPv6 on Windows/Mac and Linux desktop operating systems.

+ Build a routed IPv6 network using both static routing and OSPFv3.

+ Configure tunnelling techniques to allow v6-capable sites talk to other v6 sites across a v4-only network.

+ Brainstorm solutions to issues holding back IPv6 in their organisations.


Details of our IPv6 modules are available at http://learn.afrinic.net/index.php/learn-modules/ipv6


Target Audience:
————————

Network engineers and systems administrators who understand how to design and build IPv4 networks. Participants must already understand topics like:

+ The OSI model and the various protocols that operate at each layer.

+ IPv4 addressing and subnetting.

+ Intra-domain routing and OSPF.

+ Fundamentals of Inter-domain routing with BGP

+ Basic network services like DHCP and DNS.

+ How to use the command line interfaces of key routing platforms (e.g Cisco IOS)


Participants are expected to bring their own laptops which must have the following utilities installed:

[a] Virtualbox - a virtualisation software available freely from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

[b]  A telnet and/or SSH client. If your operating system does not have these installed, you can download and install the following free ones:

      + Putty - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
      + Terraterm - http://en.sourceforge.jp/projects/ttssh2/releases/

[c] The RIPE whois client freely available from http://whois.sourceforge.net

Please note that although most Linux/unix operation systems have a whois client, these do not support most of the flags used by the AfriNIC whois server.


Fees and Charges
________________

Participation in this training workshop is FREE of charge and open to our members and network operators in that priority as well as anyone interested in understanding how to design and build IPv6 networks.

Tea and lunch will be served during the days of the workshop. Note that AfriNIC will not bear any transportation and/or accommodation costs for the participants.
