This course is delivered online over a period of 8 weeks. Participants view pre-recorded, narrated presentations and complete learning activities at any time that is convenient for them. Participants are encouraged to contact the instructor for questions and discussion.
Participants spend approximately 4 - 6 hours per week, on average, completing the various course activities in order to maximize the learning benefits. A certificate is awarded at the conclusion of the course. Completion of the course evaluation is required in order to receive the certificate.
Participants have access to the online presentations for 8 weeks after beginning the course.
The access information will be emailed 24-48 business hours after registration.
System Requirements: A high speed Internet connection (Cable or DSL), Internet Explorer 6.0 or above, and Java.
Description:
The IPv6: Impact on Cable Networks course provides details on the capabilities of IPv6 and DOCSIS™ 3.0, as well as the roles they play in the cable network management process, the rollout aspects of IPv6 implementation, DOCSIS 3.0 integration, configuration, provisioning and troubleshooting the network components, and the impact on the cable network.
Course goals also include an in-depth discussion surrounding how to operate IPv6 in tandem with IPv4. The operational issues involved in configuring and managing parallel IP addressing systems are thoroughly covered in this course. The breadth and depth of the course will be beneficial for those responsible for integrating the IPv6 protocol.
Modules:
Module 1: General Overview
Module 2: Fundamentals
Module 3: Provisioning
Module 4: Troubleshooting
Module 5: Management Strategy
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, learners will be able to:
Explain the motivation of the cable industry's interest in moving to IPv6
Discuss an overview of IPv6
Describe highlights of DOCSIS 3.0 (D3.x), as it relates to IPv6
Explain IPv6 Deployment
State the key IPv6 concepts
Demonstrate an understanding IPv4/IPv6 provisioning mechanisms
Explain the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP)
Understand the requirements for IPv6 Address Management
Explain DNS over IPv6 infrastructure
