IPv6 for Managers (IPV6M)

All Managers including Account Managers, Development Managers, Technical Managers and more. This is ideal training for anyone with or without a strong technical background who needs to develop the IPv6 knowledge required to sell IPv6 related products and services or to understand a network design or implementation issue. If you are a manager and IPv6 is about to change your world, or is something that you and the team are trying to evaluate, this course is for you.

Upon completion of this presentation, the attendees will have an high level understanding of all the important IPv6 concepts, protocols and network applications. You will also know what is new in IPv6 about QoS, how it differs from IPv4, and what you need to know to provide for security in an IPv6 world.

This course breaks down the complex subjects around the transition to IPv6, and delivers it in a clear and concise fashion, allowing participants to focus on the need to know issues.

IPv4 Review

• This is needed to better understand the evolution from IPv4 to IPv6. This includes the IPv4 addresses and all the workaround, which have extended the life of IPv4 for 20 years.
