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 -

     + 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.
