Course Overview
This two-day workshop is designed to provide students with an understanding of IPv6 concepts including ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery, and IPv6 addressing and routing protocols including protocol-independent routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, and BGP. Support for IPv6 in MPLS and VPLS, and IPv6 transition methods are also covered. Through demonstrations and hands-on labs, students will gain experience configuring and monitoring device and protocol operations.
After successfully completing this course, Students should be able to deploy IPv6 to support common environments.
Course Topics
After successfully completing this course, students should be able to:
- Identify format and elements of an IPv6 address
- Configure and verify IPv6 addressing and options on devices running the Junos operating system
- State the process by which IPv6 hosts discover media address information for neighboring hosts
- Identify the process by which IPv6 hosts obtain addressing and network configuration information
- Configure IPv6 router advertisements using Junos
- Troubleshoot IPv6 router advertisements using Junos
- Configure IPv6 routing tables, static routes, and aggregate routes
- Configure RIPng
- Configure OSPFv3
- Configure IS-IS for IPv6
- Configure BGP with IPv4 and IPv6 peers for IPv6 traffic
- Troubleshoot routing protocols for IPv6
- Describe the different options to carry IPv6 traffic across an MPLS network
- Configure a dual stack Juniper Networks device
- Describe different tunneling methods
- Configure static tunnels using the Junos OS
- Describe protocol translation
Target Audience
Network engineers, technical support personnel, reseller support engineers, and others responsible for implementing and/or maintaining the Juniper Networks products covered in this course.
The IPv6 course is an intermediate-level course and benefits individuals responsible for configuring and monitoring EX Series switches.
