IPv6 Fundamentals, Design, and Deployment (IP6FD) training provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to implement and configure the IP version 6 (IPv6) features of Cisco IOS software. The training also provides an overview of IPv6 technologies; covers IPv6 design and implementation; describes IPv6 operations, addressing, routing, services, and transition; and describes deployment of IPv6 in enterprise networks as well as in service provider networks. The training includes case studies that are useful for deployment scenarios and remote labs.

This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
