Class goals and contents

The Internet2 IPv6 workshop is an ideal opportunity for learning about this important technology in a hands-on environment. It is recommended for individuals responsible for designing and maintaining organizational networks, and will provide engineers and network managers the information they need to deploy and support IPv6 within their campuses.

Over the course of the workshop attendees will design and set up a functioning IPv6 network, which will be connected to the global IPv6 network. The network will have both external and internal routing configured. Using IPv6 transition tools, attendees will also gateway between the workshop IPv6 network and the global IPv4 Internet. The workshop will cover the IPv6 aspects of the following topics:
  • Router Configuration
  • BGP Configuration
  • Addressing
  • BIND configuration
  • Application Space
  • Transition Issues

After having attended the workshop, attendees will be able to engineer IPv6 networks within their organizations, explain IPv6 engineering concepts to peers, and help teach or facilitate future IPv6 workshops.

Laptop requirement

Attendees are asked to bring a laptop capable of running an IPv6 stack. Laptops should also have an integrated serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter for accessing router console ports.
