Command Information's comprehensive range of IPv6 training courses are an
ideal way to prepare yourself or your staff. IPv6 is a very broad spectrum
technology, impacting almost every aspect of the network, the devices
attached to it, and the applications that run over it. Consequently,
organizations find that it is not just one classification of personnel
that needs IPv6 education. Our courses address both government and corporate
IPv6 issues and our certified instructors are engineers with hands-on IPv6
experience.
Our custom classes will be held at your site.
Using our current class offerings and courseware, we can put together a course specific for your company or organization.
Building IPv6 Networks (Introduction)
Overview
In today's challenging technology market IT personnel are required to have an increasingly broader range of knowledge. Recognizing this fact, the Building IPv6 Network course was designed to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the IPv6 protocol, and how it is being supported within the larger network infrastructure. Upon completion of this course, participants will leave with the baseline knowledge to begin experimenting with IPv6 in the context of their specific networking environment.
Basics
Designed to provide the most comprehensive training overview of the IPv6 protocol available, this course combines a heavy mixture of lecture and lab. Subject materials cover the fundamentals of IPv6, IPv6 addressing, v6 features, DNS, routing, transition mechanisms, mobility, multicasting, and security. Lab work will include enablement of IPv6 on several operating systems and networking hardware, supporting IPSec in an IPv6 environment, integrating transition mechanisms into an IPv4 network, enabling IPv6 supported routing protocols, and integration of IPv6 into a simulated enterprise environment.
New! Securing, Hacking and Defending IPv6
Overview
This new course is a follow-up to "Building IPv6 Networks" and is focused on the Security professionals responsible for both testing and defending a network, while implementing IPv6. Participants will gain a deep knowledge of attacking and defending present-day networks.
Now, more than ever, organizations are beginning to consider the sweeping impact of IPv6 technology. With the enhanced next generation protocol, organizations will face new security issues and concerns. Many have dismissed IPv6 as a threat, believing it to be five or ten years in the future. However, a majority of operating systems, appliance and embedded system vendors are installing and enabling IPv6 by default. This is troubling to many security professionals and Network administrators who donąt keep tabs of their systems face a huge risk. The wide scale adoption of this protocol has yet to be realized; however, the presence on your network is real and needs to be addressed. Working with our IPv6 security subject matter experts, participants will gain a deep knowledge of attacking and defending present-day networks.
Basics
Subject materials covered in this course include a brief overview of IPv6 fundamentals and security, followed by common IPv6 vulnerabilities; hacker/testing tools in IPv6 and how they work; recognizing the difference between "good" and "malicious" packet traces; discovering security architecture and tools available for a more secure network; avoiding "back doors" created by tunnels and transition mechanisms; and IPv6 "Best Practices" for monitoring and mitigating attacks.
IPv6 for Security Professionals
Overview
Now, more than ever, organizations are beginning to consider the sweeping impact of IPv6 technology. With the enhanced next generation protocol, organizations will face new security issues and concerns. This course is designed to provide Network Security personnel with an introduction to the fundamentals of IPv6, and help them develop a broad understanding of the transition process, focusing on some of the more salient security ramifications of IPv6 integration and the change in the overall IT security model when IPv6 is introduced. By working with our IPv6 security SMEs, participants will gain the practical knowledge required to contend with the new security paradigm that IPv6 creates.
Basics
Subject materials covered in this course include an overview of IPv6 fundamentals, followed by a detailed examination of IPv6 security issues. Included topics are: IPv6 address structure; Neighbor Discovery; Path MTU and fragmentation; DNS/DHCP Security; IPsec implementation and routing; and IPv6 transition issues. Advanced security topics such as multicasting and multihoming are also covered.
IPv6 for Application Developers
Overview
The greatest advantages of IPv6 will not be realized solely from enablement within the network topology, but rather by how applications and programs leverage the progressive features of IPv6. The Programmer's course, developed and delivered by some of the world's leading IPv6 experts, provides participants access to the most comprehensive IPv6 training experience available. Coupled with numerous in-class hands-on exercises, the Programming for IPv6 course puts developers on the path to successfully integrate IPv6 into their next generation products.
Basics
Subject materials covered include topics such as: IPv6 fundamentals; IPv6 addressing structures; DNS; and security within the IPv6 paradigm; API modifications; integration methods; existing IPv6 porting tools; developing protocol independent programs; programming and utilizing the IPv6 extension headers; design considerations for the IPv6 socket API; and programming for the UNIX and .NET environments. This material is accompanied by extensive lab experience designed to provide participants hands-on experience with the IPv6 API and porting tools.
Our new custom Executive Level IPv6 Strategy Briefing is aimed to assist Communication Providers in their strategic planning, implementation and support of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The goal of this briefing is to provide an objective perspective for service providers, cable companies and ISP's on the current state of IPv6 and the implications of IPv4 depletion to their business. This briefing will provide insight into what challenges and opportunities exist with the evolution to the next generation Internet, what options are available for conserving IPv4 addresses and what organizations should be doing today to ensure network continuity and business success.
