Synopsis

Learn how to design, build, configure and support an IPv6 network

• Learn how to create IPv6 networks with Cisco Systems products
• Supplement your IPV6 course with a self-study guide based on the official course materials
• Understand practical applications of IPv6 through a solutions-oriented writing approach
• Increase comprehension and retention through chapter tools like objectives, summaries, scenarios and review questions

The current IPv4 (IP version 4) standard allows for 4 billion host addresses, though estimates place the real number at closer to 250 million hosts. These 'hosts' are the address sites of devices on the Internet. With the growth of the Internet, as well as the increasing number of devices that require a host address (like wireless devices), that supply of addresses will soon be exhausted. IPv6 is quickly being considered the solution to the ever-shrinking supply of hosts. With the capability to provide a host for every proton on the earth, IPv6 not only will provide a significant increase in hosts, it probably won't need to be replaced by a more advanced IP version for a decade.

Cisco Self-Study: Implementing IPv6 Networks (IPv6) provides readers with an overview of the Cisco IP version 6 implementation. It is an in-depth technical reference for designing, configuring, deploying, and debugging IPv6 on Cisco routers. Complete with practical examples that show the real-world application of IPv6, and based on the Cisco Systems course (IPv6), this title is valuable as a stand-alone resource for understanding IPv6 or as a supplement for a networking professional attending a Cisco Learning Partner instructor-led course. With coverage of the history of IPv6, strategies for implementation and management, integration with Microsoft components and an overview of international implications, this title is the comprehensive resource for understanding this valuable and inevitable

About this title

About the Author

Rigis Desmeules is an independent consultant specializing in IPv4, IPv6, network architecture and design, security, multimedia, Cisco routers, UNIX, and Microsoft implementations. He has developed and taught courses related to IPv4, IPv6, multimedia over IP, security, DNS, and MobileIP. Rigis consulted extensively with Viaginie, Inc., where he participated in IPv6 projects such as the deployment of IPv6 backbones on CA*net2 and CA*net3, the development of Freenet6, the creation of a stealth IPv6 DNS root server, the IPv6 Internet exchange called 6TAP, and the network game Quake over IPv6.

From the Back Cover

Design, build, configure, and support networks based on Version 6 of the Internet Protocol

Coverage includes:

* Overview of history and motivations behind the new protocol, including the limitations of the IPv4 address space, Network Address Translation (NAT), fast growth of the Internet routing table, international issues, mobility, security, and many other topics
* Header format, addressing, Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD), IPv6 over link-layer technologies, Extended Unique Identifier-64-bit (EUI-64) format, Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6), autoconfiguration, neighbor discovery protocol, Duplicate Address Detection (DAD), and use of DNS with IPv6
* Comparison with BGP4+, RIPng, IS-IS for IPv6, and OSPFv3 with Cisco IOS Software routing references and examples
* Transitioning from and co-existing with IPv4 using Dual Stack, configured tunnel, generic routing encapsulation (GRE), 6to4, 6to4 Relay, Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP), and Network Address Translation-Protocol Translation (NAT-PT) configurations
* Enabling, configuring, and operating a Cisco router with IPv6 addresses, prefixes, IPv6 ACLs, IPv6-enabled routing protocols, CEFv6, and several coexistence mechanisms
* Host-router interaction with Microsoft Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux, and Tru64 UNIXPreview of Internet IPv6 and address allocation on 6Bone
* Deploying production IPv6 connectivity in enterprise networks using prefixes allocated by ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC

With the proliferation of Internet devices that require a globally unique host address such as handhelds, 3G phones, and other wireless devices, the supply of Internet addresses available will soon be exhausted. Cisco Self-Study: Implementing Cisco IPv6 Networks (IPV6) shows you how to use Version 6 of the Internet Protocol to stay ahead of the curve, safeguard against running out of address space, avoid awkward address-expansion efforts, and apply the power of the new Internet to meet your needs over the coming decades.

Complete with practical examples that show the real-world application of IPv6, Cisco Self-Study: Implementing Cisco IPv6 Networks (IPV6) presents in-depth technical coverage of designing, configuring, deploying, and debugging IPv6 on Cisco routers. Within, you'll find strategies for management, integration, and international implications. To help you remember key concepts, each chapter ends with challenging review questions that test your knowledge of the subject matter. Whether you are searching for a comprehensive reference to the new version of the Internet Protocol or require a solutions-based implementation guide based on official Cisco content, Cisco Self-Study: Implementing Cisco IPv6 Networks (IPV6) is your complete networking resource for this valuable and inevitable technology.
