IPv6 Routing - Transitioning to IPv6 and Certification Review


IPv6 Transition Strategies


3 most popular methods to moving/transitioning to IPv6, these cater for pretty much everything.
This technology is:

DUAL-STACK ROUTERS
TUNNELING (6to4 and 4to6)
NAT PROTOCOL TRANSLATION


DUAL-STACK ROUTERS

 This is where you could have both IPv4 and IPv6 on your network (maybe on the same interface or seperate interface/vlan) and most probably your ISP would send you both IPv4 and IPv6 routes (or you could 2 providers one doing each .....)


TUNNELING (6to4 and 4to6)

 You could just tunnel your way through lol, using good ole GRE tunnels you could go IPv4 through the IPv6 network to your IPv4 end point network ... job done :0)


NAT PROTOCOL TRANSLATION
 Good ole NAT, this is your show ip nat translations job, literally IPv4 ---> IPv6 or vice versa (instead of private to public lol)

So if we take everything on board we have several ways to transist to IPv6, its not a Y2K do it or die approach lol!



Cisco Route Exam Review


 Pass score changes all the time as we know, but bottom line .... you really need to know what your doing and also how to think outside the box along with all the base config/theory




Sweeet, that is the last nugget in the series completed!!! all done .... time to go go over all the theory and get labbing!!!
