Description of CCNA Study: IPv6 Tutorial
This hands-on IPv6 tutorial dives deep into the protocol designed to replace IPv4. You’ll explore the 128-bit address structure, learn how to identify and configure different types of IPv6 addresses, and practice routing protocols in a virtual lab environment. Through video walkthroughs and labs, you’ll see how IPv6 improves scalability, routing, and future-proofing.
The course also teaches how to dual stack routers to handle IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously, ensuring compatibility in transitional networks. With a strong focus on configuration, format, and prefixing, you’ll be well-prepared to handle IPv6 deployment and troubleshoot issues in a real network or exam environment.
- Understand the format and structure of an IPv6 address
- Configure RIPng, OSPFv3, and EIGRP for IPv6
- Apply subnetting and interpret prefix lengths
- Explore transition methods like ISATAP and 6to4
- Compare IPv4 and IPv6 with hands-on examples
- Reinforce knowledge with Packet Tracer labs
- Prepare for the IPv6 topics on the 200-301 CCNA exam
Whether you're new or already in the field, this IPv6 tutorial helps you truly understand and configure IPv6—from address formats to subnetting and routing. Developed by the IETF, IPv6 brings value to modern networks, and this course prepares you for CCNA and real-world implementation.

Testimonials
Jessica M.
This IPv6 tutorial was clear, hands-on, and packed with value. I now understand IPv6 address formatting, prefixing, and how to dual stack routers using both IPv4 and IPv6. The labs helped reinforce routing protocols like RIPng and OSPFv3. Highly recommended for anyone preparing for the 200-301 CCNA exam!
Daniel P.
The course helped me understand how the 128-bit IPv6 protocol version works and how to apply it in different network environments. I liked the subnetting and transition mechanism lessons. More hands-on labs would make it perfect, but overall, it’s a great starting point for learning IPv6.
Aria L.
I finally grasp the difference between IPv4 and IPv6 and how to use IPv6 addresses in real-world scenarios. The course broke down key concepts like the prefix, interface ID, and protocol functions in a way that made sense. It’s been a great help for my CCNA exam prep and boosted my understanding of both local and internet networking.
