Course Details
Overview
The Cisco® IOS® XR IPv6 Routing for Service Providers (XIPV6R) Version 3 course provides technical training to Cisco service provider customers so that they can successfully deploy IPv6 on routers running Cisco IOS XR Software in an existing IPV4/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) environment. We review fundamental IPv6 behavior, IPv6-supported routing protocols, and mechanisms for tunneling of IPv6 over IPv4/MPLS. In addition, this course provides extensive hands-on lab exercises involving two service-provider core networks and multiple customer sites connected to a multiple Cisco Autonomous system Internet.
Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Characterize the types of IPv6 addresses, changes made to IP packet headers, and how neighbor discovery takes place
- Describe the various integration technologies that can be employed in implementing IPv6
- Describe the changes made to IPv4 routing protocols to support IPv6
- Configure IPv6 routing protocols on Cisco IOS XR Software routers and verify operation
- Configure and verify operation of IPv6 multicast
- Implement IPv6 provider edge (6PE) in an IPv4/MPLS environment
- Configure a multiple-area OSPF domain and verify operation
- Implement IPv6 VPN provider edge (6VPE) in an IPv4/MPLS environment
