Features: This book is aimed at professionals in the enterprise and provider markets, such as planners, network designers, system engineers, network managers, administrators, and any technical personnel. It is an intermediate to advanced technical reference that helps readers understand the principles and technical implementation of IPv6 and assists in passing related Cisco certification exams. The book introduces Cisco IPv6 implementation technologies and provides an in-depth technical reference for designing, configuring, deploying, and debugging IPv6 on Cisco routers. Through all the IPv6 feature operation examples in the book, you will gain specialized knowledge in Cisco IPv6 technology. The book is divided into five parts. Part 1 introduces the development process, theoretical foundation, and advantages of IPv6. Part 2 details the basic and advanced features of IPv6, then explains how to design, apply, configure, and route IPv6 networks using Cisco IOS software technology. Part 3 covers major integration and coexistence mechanisms and describes how to integrate IPv6 into the existing IPv4 infrastructure using different strategies. This part also includes examples of using Cisco IOS software technology to interconnect networks with different IPv6-enabled host implementations. Part 4 discusses the design of 6bone and the operational mechanisms of this global IPv6 backbone. This part also provides some steps and guidelines to help ISPs understand how to become IPv6 providers on the IPv6 Internet. Part 5 includes appendices and a glossary.
