Description of IPv4 and IPv6: Routing Protocols and Subnetting Made Easy
This course simplifies IP addressing and routing for both IPv4 and IPv6. You'll explore subnet masks, routing loops, and triggered updates, while learning how autonomous systems, routing tables, and topology tables help routers perform efficient routing decisions—even through network changes and slow convergence.
Through labs and quizzes, you’ll practice configuring RIPng, EIGRPv6, and OSPFv3, build VLANs and Spine & Leaf networks, and master dual-stack setups. The course also covers secure routing protocols, private networks, address space management, and backup routes.
- IP version differences and use in real-world networks
- Subnetting IPv4 and IPv6 using the Laz method
- Configuring distance vector routing protocol for efficiency
- Finding the shortest path with dynamic routing protocols
- Implementing state routing with OSPFv3
- Managing private network addressing securely
- Eliminating excess traffic using broadcast address techniques
- Improving routing with minimal processing power
By the end, you’ll be equipped to handle IP address assignment, subnetting, and internet protocol routing across both small and large networks. You’ll understand how interior gateway protocols and link state routing protocols function—skills recognized by the Internet Engineering Task Force and applicable in both exterior gateway protocols and enterprise environments.
Who Is This Course For
This course is for IT professionals, networking students, and anyone who needs to understand IP addressing and routing in detail. Whether you're pursuing certification or managing real-world networks, this course gives you practical, in-depth skills.

Testimonials
Admed B.
This course helped me finally master both IPv4 and IPv6, especially in understanding how routing protocols work across large networks. The clear breakdown of distance vector and link state protocols showed how data moves between networks using the best path, even with less bandwidth and many other routers involved.
Tom H.
Great course for understanding the internet protocol, routing tables, and network address translation. The instructor explained the subnet mask, network layer, and routing decisions clearly. I now feel more confident handling network traffic, pinpointing the network address, and troubleshooting internal networks to reach the correct destination network.
Rashid V.
I loved the real-world focus on static routing, hop count, and autonomous systems. The labs walked me through building a private network and avoiding routing loops. It's a must-take for anyone who wants practical knowledge in computer networks and secure routing protocols.
