Speaker 1: Welcome to your deep dive. This time we're diving into
Speaker 1: IPv six, the future of the Internet. They say, we're
Speaker 1: going to be looking at an advanced IPv six training
Speaker 1: course from August twenty seventeen. So we're basically going to
Speaker 1: be like your guide through all this awesome technical material.
Speaker 1: Will hit the highlights, show you the interesting parts, maybe
Speaker 1: some real world examples, even a configuration snippet or two.
Speaker 1: Sound good.
Speaker 2: Sounds like a plan.
Speaker 1: So you might be thinking, why IPv six, Why should
Speaker 1: I care? It's not just about longer addresses. It's about
Speaker 1: how the Internet works, more efficient, more secure, Ready for
Speaker 1: all those devices, billions of them, all connected and talking
Speaker 1: to each other.
Speaker 2: You got it. Remember all that worry about running out
Speaker 2: of IPv four addresses, Well, IPv six takes care of that,
Speaker 2: but it also brings a whole new set of challenges
Speaker 2: and opportunities.
Speaker 1: So let's break this down, starting with the foundation the
Speaker 1: packets themselves. This document points out IPv six packets are
Speaker 1: structured differently than IPv four packets. And this one blew
Speaker 1: my mind. Itv six headers twice the size of IPv
Speaker 1: four headers. Now you might be thinking bigger headers. Okay,
Speaker 1: so what, But it really impacts how efficiently riders can
Speaker 1: process these packets. It even has implications for security. Believe
Speaker 1: it or not, it's.
Speaker 2: Amazing how a seemingly small change can have such a
Speaker 2: huge ripple effect throughout the network. And it's not just
Speaker 2: about size. IPv six handles things differently too. Take packet fragmentation.
Speaker 2: For example, IPv four routers broke down large packets with
Speaker 2: IV six that all shifts over to the host device
Speaker 2: much more efficient.
Speaker 1: The training document has this visual legend breaks down the
Speaker 1: IPv six header format. It's really cool. It's like a
Speaker 1: roadmap showing what stayed the same from ITV four, what changed,
Speaker 1: and what's brand spanking new in IPv six. You can
Speaker 1: really see how these packets have evolved to meet the
Speaker 1: demands of a more complex Internet.
Speaker 2: We also can't forget about those optional headers in IPv six.
Speaker 2: They're like add ons for your packets, providing extra information
Speaker 2: or functionality. Some common ones you'll see are the routing
Speaker 2: header helps guide packets through the network, and the fragmentation
Speaker 2: header that one's used when a packet needs to be
Speaker 2: broken down into smaller piece. And get this, these optional
Speaker 2: headers are daisy chained, pretty neat way to organize all
Speaker 2: that extra information.
Speaker 1: Now, this is where things get really interesting. Remember broadcasts
Speaker 1: in IPv four shouting in a crowded room hoping someone
Speaker 1: will hear you. Well, IPv six gets rid of those
Speaker 1: completely good riddans.
Speaker 2: I say they were inefficient, created a lot of unnecessary
Speaker 2: network traffic. IPv six is more targeted, more elegent, you
Speaker 2: can say. It uses something called neighbor discovery, a much
Speaker 2: smarter way for devices to find each other.
Speaker 1: And you know what powers neighbor discovery, Those little ICMPv
Speaker 1: six messages we talked about before. They're not just for diagnostics,
Speaker 1: they're crucial for basic network functions. Seriously, don't disable ICMPv six.
Speaker 1: Your network will have a meltdown.
Speaker 2: It's true. ICMPv six is the unsung hero of IPv
Speaker 2: six networking. And the training document has this great diagram
Speaker 2: It shows how a web server handles packets of different sizes.
Speaker 2: Really brings the concept of path MTU discovery to life,
Speaker 2: like a polite converse between devices figuring out the best
Speaker 2: way to send data without overwhelming each other.
Speaker 1: So let's move on to routing and IPv six. Good
Speaker 1: news here, it's actually very similar to IPv four, still
Speaker 1: using the concept of longest prefix matching to figure out
Speaker 1: where a packet should go, but with IV six everything
Speaker 1: is well bigger.
Speaker 2: Think give it this way. The Internet just got a
Speaker 2: massive expansion with IPv six, so those routing tables are
Speaker 2: packed with way more addresses and the prefixes are longer.
Speaker 2: Got to accommodate that huge address base. But the underlying
Speaker 2: logic for making routing decisions it's the same as an
Speaker 2: IPv four.
Speaker 1: To help you visualize all this, the training materials have
Speaker 1: a sample routing table. We could walk through some examples
Speaker 1: show how that longest prefix matching magic works in practice.
Speaker 1: It's like solving a puzzle finding the most specific route
Speaker 1: for each packet.
Speaker 2: Understanding how routing works in IPv six absolutely crucial for
Speaker 2: anyone working with networks today, is the foundation of how
Speaker 2: data flows across this expanded Internet. It's like knowing the
Speaker 2: streets and highways of a city. You need to know
Speaker 2: them to navigate effectively.
Speaker 1: And of course we can't talk about routing without mentioning
Speaker 1: the heavy hitters, those essential routing protocols OSPF three and BGP,
Speaker 1: like the traffic cops and air traffic controllers of the Internet,
Speaker 1: making sure data flows smoothly.
Speaker 2: They've definitely gotten some upgrades to handle the complexities of
Speaker 2: IPv six. OSPF three, for example, That one focuses on
Speaker 2: managing routing within your own network, making sure all your
Speaker 2: devices can talk to each other seamlessly.
Speaker 1: And then we have BGP handling connections between different networks
Speaker 1: across the entire Internet. It's like a global travel agent
Speaker 1: for your data packets, making sure they reach their destination
Speaker 1: no matter how far they need to travel.
Speaker 2: What's fascinating is seeing the evolution of these protocols. For example,
Speaker 2: with OSPF three is designed for IPv six, of course,
Speaker 2: but we see some key differences from its IPv four counterpart,
Speaker 2: OSPFv two. And get this, in networks that are purely
Speaker 2: IPv six, you actually need to configure a router ID manually.
Speaker 2: You can't just rely on IPv four addresses anymore.
Speaker 1: And the best part is the training document gives actual
Speaker 1: configuration examples for both OSPFF three and BGP. We're talking
Speaker 1: real world commands you can use to set up these
Speaker 1: protocols on your network. This is where the rubber meets.
Speaker 2: The road for sure. These configuration examples are super valuable
Speaker 2: for anyone managing an itv six network. It's one thing
Speaker 2: to get the concepts, it's another to see the actual
Speaker 2: commands that make it all happen.
Speaker 1: All right, you've got your new IPB six network all
Speaker 1: set up. Now, how do you deliver content like websites
Speaker 1: to users?
Speaker 2: Well, there are several ways to do it. Ideally, you'd
Speaker 2: have what we call native dual stack, meaning your entire network,
Speaker 2: including your web server, speaks both IPv four and IPv
Speaker 2: six fluently, like being bilingual on the Internet. But sometimes
Speaker 2: you need to be a little more creative.
Speaker 1: And the document talks about some of those creative solutions.
Speaker 1: Load balancers with NAP proxies, and even this intriguing thing
Speaker 1: called NT sixty.
Speaker 2: Four NINETI sixty four is super cool. It's like a
Speaker 2: bridge between the IPv four and IPv six worlds, and
Speaker 2: let's devices that only speak IPB six access content on
Speaker 2: servers that are still using IPv four. It's a key
Speaker 2: tool for ensuring a smooth transition as the Internet moves
Speaker 2: toward IPv six.
Speaker 1: IPv six is especially important for mobile networks. Think about it,
Speaker 1: billions of smartphones out there. I'll hungry for data. IPv
Speaker 1: four just couldn't handle that kind of demand.
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right, rob providers had to jump on the
Speaker 2: IPv six train early on. They've got unique challenges though,
Speaker 2: implementing NT sixty four, dealing with four sixty four x LAT,
Speaker 2: which Apple famously is not a fan of, and making
Speaker 2: sure all their network infrastructure from cell towers to core
Speaker 2: routers can handle all that IPv six traffic.
Speaker 1: Oh and speaking of Apple, they basically told app developers,
Speaker 1: get your apps working over IPv six only networks, or
Speaker 1: else no more relying on those IPv four crutches.
Speaker 2: Tough love.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: The document even has a slide from t Mobile USA
Speaker 2: outlines everything noble providers need to consider for IPv six,
Speaker 2: from the handsets to the core network. It's a comprehensive
Speaker 2: roadmap for building a future proof mobile network.
Speaker 1: All right, let's bring it closer to home. Now, let's
Speaker 1: talk about your computer. The good news is all the
Speaker 1: major operating systems, Windows, Linux, dot OSX they all support
Speaker 1: IPD six natively. It's built right in. Good news is
Speaker 1: it works automatically. The bad news it works automatic?
Speaker 2: Uh huh? The catch right, Sometimes automatic configuration can be
Speaker 2: a little two hands off, especially for those of us
Speaker 2: who like to have more control over our networks.
Speaker 1: So while it's great that IPv six just works out
Speaker 1: of the box, sometimes you need more control.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and that's where understanding how to manage IPv six
Speaker 2: clients comes in. We'll dive into that in the next part.
Speaker 2: We'll explore how to configure things like slaoke ecciby, DHCPv
Speaker 2: six and how to disable those privacy extensions and Windows
Speaker 2: which can sometimes cause a bit of a headache.
Speaker 1: Can't wait.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to your deep dive into IPv six.
Speaker 1: Before we went to break we were talking about IP
Speaker 1: address management and all those cool tools available.
Speaker 2: It's really mind boggling how many IPv six addresses we're
Speaker 2: talking about managing. It's a whole different scale than IPv four.
Speaker 1: The document says there are over thirty four trillions. Sixty
Speaker 1: four is in a twenty nine like. I can't even
Speaker 1: fathom that many addresses.
Speaker 2: It's truly astronomical, and that's why IPM tools are so important.
Speaker 2: They help us make sense of this massive address space.
Speaker 1: So let's break down some specific tools. The training course
Speaker 1: highlighted net dot just goip and a GPM. What can
Speaker 1: you tell us about.
Speaker 2: Net dot net dot is a powerhouse. It can automatically
Speaker 2: discover devices on your network using SNMP, manage your DNS
Speaker 2: and DHCP configurations, even keep track of m NAG addresses.
Speaker 2: And it's got these handy export scripts for popular monitoring
Speaker 2: tools like na Gio's smoke being and CACTI.
Speaker 1: So it's not just an address track or it's like
Speaker 1: a multi toool that integrates with your whole network management ecosystem.
Speaker 1: Very cool. What about just gip?
Speaker 2: Just diip takes a more visual approach to address management.
Speaker 2: It's web based, gives you a clear view of your
Speaker 2: address base, shows you free ranges, can manage vlands, even
Speaker 2: generate DNS zone files for both forward and reverse lookups.
Speaker 2: It's really helpful for planning and allocating subnets, especially in
Speaker 2: larger networks.
Speaker 1: And it's support or it's multiple languages, a huge plus
Speaker 1: for global organizations. Lastly, let's talk about f fab PAM.
Speaker 2: Vipam is another web based tool as a really modern interface,
Speaker 2: can send email notifications, show you free IP ranges and
Speaker 2: client counts per subnet, even important export data to excel.
Speaker 2: Very user friendly.
Speaker 1: I love that it can pull information from the ripe
Speaker 1: database that saves so much manual entry. It seems like
Speaker 1: all of these tools bring something unique to the table.
Speaker 1: What factors should someone consider when choosing an IPM tool.
Speaker 2: That's a great question. It really depends on your specific needs,
Speaker 2: like the size of your network, your budget, and the
Speaker 2: features that are most important to you. Some tools are
Speaker 2: geared toward large enterprises with complex needs, while others are
Speaker 2: perfect for smaller organizations with simpler requirements. Some are free
Speaker 2: an open source offering flexibility and community support, while others
Speaker 2: are commercial products with more advanced features and dedicated support.
Speaker 1: So do your research find the tool that fits your
Speaker 1: unique situation. Sounds like we could do a whole separate
Speaker 1: deep dive episode on ip tools alone, but for now,
Speaker 1: let's shift gears talk about how to configure those hosts
Speaker 1: to use IPv six.
Speaker 2: Sounds good. Like we mentioned before, all the major operating systems, Windows, Linux,
Speaker 2: and OSX, they all have native support for.
Speaker 1: IPv six, which is fantastic right. It means you don't
Speaker 1: have to install any special software to get IPv six
Speaker 1: up and running exactly.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that the document really emphasizes. IPv
Speaker 2: six often works automatically, and while that sounds super convenient,
Speaker 2: it could be a bit of a double edged sword.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm intrigued. Why would automatic configuration be a potential issue.
Speaker 2: Well, when things happen automatically in the background, you might
Speaker 2: not have as much control as you'd like. For example,
Speaker 2: you might not know what specific IPv six address your
Speaker 2: computer is using, or you might not be able to
Speaker 2: easily configure things like DNS servers or default gateways according
Speaker 2: to your specific network setup.
Speaker 1: So it's like your computer is making decisions without fully
Speaker 1: consulting you, and for network administrators that can be a real.
Speaker 2: Headache precisely, and that that's why it's so important to
Speaker 2: understand how to manage IPv six clients and have the
Speaker 2: ability to override those automatic settings when necessary. The document
Speaker 2: goes into detail about how to configure different address assignment
Speaker 2: methods like SLAA and DHCPv six. It also covers how
Speaker 2: to disable certain features like those privacy extensions and Windows
Speaker 2: they can sometimes interfere with network management tools.
Speaker 1: Let's break those down one by one. First up, SLAA,
Speaker 1: So what's that all about.
Speaker 2: SLAAC stands for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration it's a way for
Speaker 2: a host to figure out its own IV six address
Speaker 2: based on information it receives from a router. Think of
Speaker 2: it like the router is saying, hey, here's a prefix
Speaker 2: you can use, go ahead and create an address for
Speaker 2: yourself within this range.
Speaker 1: Ah. So it's like the host is given a street
Speaker 1: name and then gets to choose its own house number
Speaker 1: on that street.
Speaker 2: That's a great analogy. The host combines that prefix from
Speaker 2: the router with its own unique identifier, often its NC address,
Speaker 2: to generate a globally unique ip v six address. It's
Speaker 2: a clever way to simplify address assignment, especially in larger networks.
Speaker 1: Pretty neat, But you mentioned that sometimes you might want
Speaker 1: to disable SLAC. When would that be the case.
Speaker 2: If you need more granular control over the addresses your
Speaker 2: hosts are using, you might out for DHGPV six instead.
Speaker 2: DHGVV six is the IPv six equivalent of the DHDP
Speaker 2: server we use for IPv four. It lets you centrally
Speaker 2: manage address assignment and provide additional configuration parameters to clients.
Speaker 1: So it's like having a designated address administrator who assigns
Speaker 1: addresses and provides all the network settings to each device exactly.
Speaker 2: It gives you much more control over your network and
Speaker 2: make sure all your devices are configured properly. And the
Speaker 2: best part is that training materials include some practical configuration
Speaker 2: examples for dhdpv six on Cisco Writers.
Speaker 1: Fantastic, always helpful to see those real world commands. What
Speaker 1: other cool things can you do with hcpv six.
Speaker 2: Well, there's this interesting feature called dhgpv six prefixed delegation.
Speaker 2: This allows an ISP to assign a block addresses to
Speaker 2: a customer, who can then further subdivide those addresses and
Speaker 2: assign them to devices on their own network.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's like giving your customer their own mini Internet.
Speaker 1: Sounds pretty complex though it.
Speaker 2: Can be, but the document actually walks you through it
Speaker 2: step by step. It provides configuration examples for both the
Speaker 2: ISP side and the customer side, makes it much easier
Speaker 2: to understand and implement.
Speaker 1: That's incredibly helpful. So we've covered SLAC and DHCPB six.
Speaker 1: Now what about those privacy extensions you mentioned earlier? Why
Speaker 1: would someone want to disable them?
Speaker 2: Privacy extensions are a security feature built into Windows. They
Speaker 2: try to make it harder to track a device's IPv
Speaker 2: six address over time. By generating a random part of
Speaker 2: the IPv six address periodically.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a good thing for privacy conscious users, it.
Speaker 2: Definitely is, but the catches those randomly generated addresses can
Speaker 2: sometimes cause problems with network management tools or applications that
Speaker 2: rely on a consistent IPv six address. If you're seeing
Speaker 2: strange behavior with certain applications, it's worth che if those
Speaker 2: privacy extensions are enabled.
Speaker 1: So it's a trade off between privacy and potential compatibility
Speaker 1: issues exactly.
Speaker 2: And the document shows you how to disable those privacy
Speaker 2: extensions using the command prompt in Windows if you need to.
Speaker 1: Amazing how many little settings and configurations are tucked away
Speaker 1: in Windows. I always learn something new when we do
Speaker 1: these deep dives.
Speaker 2: Me too. It's a constant journey of discovery. Speaking of discovery,
Speaker 2: it's got time for one more topic before we wrap
Speaker 2: up Part two. Let's talk security.
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, security, the ever important topic. What does the
Speaker 1: document have to say about security in an IPv six world.
Speaker 2: Well, it starts by stating something very clearly, there's nothing
Speaker 2: inherently secure about IPv six. Just because you're using a
Speaker 2: newer protocol doesn't mean you can ignore security best practices.
Speaker 1: So just because we have a shiny new house doesn't
Speaker 1: mean we can forget to lock the door exactly.
Speaker 2: In fact, the expanded address base of IPv six can
Speaker 2: actually present some unique security challenges. How so well, with
Speaker 2: IPv four, it was at least theoretic possible to scan
Speaker 2: the entire address base to look for vulnerable devices. With
Speaker 2: IPv six, the address base is so vast that it's
Speaker 2: practically impossible to scan it all. This means attackers have
Speaker 2: to be more creative, more targeted in their approach.
Speaker 1: So instead of casting a wide net, they have to
Speaker 1: use more sophisticated techniques to find their targets.
Speaker 2: That's right. The document talks about techniques like subnet scanning,
Speaker 2: where attackers focus on specific ranges of IPv six addresses
Speaker 2: looking for weaknesses. It's like they're searching for a needle
Speaker 2: in a slightly smaller haystack, but they're using more advanced
Speaker 2: tools and techniques to find it.
Speaker 1: Makes sense, So what are some key things to keep
Speaker 1: in mind for securing an IPv six network.
Speaker 2: The document emphasizes understanding and properly configuring those ICMTV six messages. Remember,
Speaker 2: ICMPv six is essential for neighbor discovery and other core
Speaker 2: network functions, but it can also be abused by attackers
Speaker 2: for things like denial of service.
Speaker 1: Attacks, so it's a balancing act. You need to allow
Speaker 1: enough ICMPv six traffic for your network to function, but
Speaker 1: you also need to filter out any malicious or suspicious
Speaker 1: ICMPv six messages.
Speaker 2: Exactly, and the document provides some helpful examples of firewall
Speaker 2: rules you can use to filter ICMPv six traffic effectively.
Speaker 2: It also talks about the importance of filtering IPv six
Speaker 2: headers to prevent certain types of attacks.
Speaker 1: Are there any other security measures or tools mentioned in
Speaker 1: the document?
Speaker 2: They touch on using IPsec for encryption, always a good
Speaker 2: idea for securing sensitive data and transit, and they discuss
Speaker 2: this cool feature called r guard r A guard.
Speaker 1: What's that all about?
Speaker 2: Riguard is a security feature. You can implement it on
Speaker 2: a layer two switch. Think of it as a bouncer
Speaker 2: for your network, making sure only authorized routers are allowed
Speaker 2: to announce their presence, so.
Speaker 1: It helps prevent rogue routers from messing with your network
Speaker 1: and potentially intercepting traffic exactly.
Speaker 2: It's a very effective way to mitigate certain types of
Speaker 2: attacks like man in the middle attacks.
Speaker 1: This is all great information. I feel like we could
Speaker 1: spend hours diving into the intricacies of IPv six security.
Speaker 2: We could, but unfortunately we're out of time for Part two.
Speaker 2: Continue our exploration of IPv six in the final part
Speaker 2: of this deep dive series. See you then, Welcome back
Speaker 2: to the final part of our IPv six deep dive.
Speaker 1: We've covered so much ground already, structure of IPv six packets,
Speaker 1: the routing protocols that keep everything moving, how to deliver
Speaker 1: content in this IPv six world, even those unique security
Speaker 1: challenges with IPv six.
Speaker 2: It's been quite the journey. In this last part, we're
Speaker 2: gonna switch gears a bit focus on some practical tips
Speaker 2: and tricks that can help you troubleshoot and optimize your
Speaker 2: IPv six deployments. These are the kinds of insights you
Speaker 2: often won't find in textbooks, but they are incredibly valuable
Speaker 2: in the real world.
Speaker 1: Oh I love insider tips like getting a secret decoder
Speaker 1: ring for the IPv six universe exactly.
Speaker 2: These are lessons learned from years of working with IPv six,
Speaker 2: little nuggets of wisdom that can save you hours of frustration.
Speaker 1: So spill the beans what's the first tip on our list.
Speaker 2: Well, the document really stresses thorough documentation might seem obvious,
Speaker 2: but IPv six longer addresses more complex submitting schemes. A
Speaker 2: wider array of configuration options.
Speaker 1: Easy to get lost without a good map exactly.
Speaker 2: A well documented network is your lifeline, especially when you're troubleshooting.
Speaker 2: Keep track of your address allocations, subnet masks, routing configurations,
Speaker 2: any other relevant information. It'll save you headaches later on.
Speaker 1: Perfect use case for those IPM tools we discussed, they
Speaker 1: can centralize all that information absolutely.
Speaker 2: And speaking of documentation, another tip, use meaningful names for
Speaker 2: your network devices and interfaces. Don't just stick with those
Speaker 2: generic names assigned by the manufacturer like router ie or
Speaker 2: ethernet OA.
Speaker 1: Those are about as helpful as calling your pets cat
Speaker 1: and dog exactly.
Speaker 2: Use names that actually tell you something useful about the
Speaker 2: device's roll or its location of the network. So, for example,
Speaker 2: you could name a router that connects your isp ISP
Speaker 2: router or a switch in your server room. Server room
Speaker 2: switch seems like a small thing, but it makes a
Speaker 2: big difference when you're trying to understand your network at
Speaker 2: a glance.
Speaker 1: It's like organizing your tools in the garage. If everything
Speaker 1: has a designated spot, much easier to find what you
Speaker 1: need exactly.
Speaker 2: Another crucial tip, familiarize yourself with the essential IPv six
Speaker 2: troubleshooting commands. Commands like ping, choice, route and show IPB
Speaker 2: six interface. These are your best friends when diagnosing connectivity issues.
Speaker 1: Those are the classics, but I imagine they have some
Speaker 1: IPv six specific twists.
Speaker 2: Oh they do, and the training materials walk you through
Speaker 2: some real world examples of how to use these commands
Speaker 2: with IPv six. It's like having a cheat sheet for
Speaker 2: those cryptic command outputs.
Speaker 1: I always find it helpful to see the actual command
Speaker 1: outputs and how to understand them.
Speaker 2: Makes those abstract concepts click into place absolutely. And speaking
Speaker 2: of troubleshooting, another key tip, understand those IPv six transition
Speaker 2: mechanisms we discussed earlier and at sixty four DNS sixty
Speaker 2: four crucial for allowing IPv six only devices to talk
Speaker 2: to legacy IPv four devices, But there are other mechanisms too.
Speaker 2: Six to four ISOTAP.
Speaker 1: Tunnels like a toolbox full of adapters and converters to
Speaker 1: bridge the gap between different technologies exactly.
Speaker 2: Understanding how these mechanisms. Work is vital for troubleshooting those
Speaker 2: connectivity hiccups that always seem to pop up during transitions.
Speaker 1: All right, what other gems of wisdom do you have
Speaker 1: for us?
Speaker 2: This one's often overlooked. Pay close attention to the other
Speaker 2: config flag in router advertisements. Remember this flag tells clients
Speaker 2: that they should use DHCPv six to get additional configuration parameters,
Speaker 2: even if they're using SLAC to get their IP address.
Speaker 1: Ah. So it's like saying, hey, you can figure out
Speaker 1: your basic address on your own, but come talk to
Speaker 1: the DHCPv six server for the full VIP treatment.
Speaker 2: Uh huh exactly. If you're having issues with clients resolving
Speaker 2: DNS names or connecting to certain services, make sure that
Speaker 2: other config flag is set correctly on your routers.
Speaker 1: Makes perfect sense. Any other pearls of wisdom Before we
Speaker 1: wrap things up.
Speaker 2: The final tip, and maybe the most important, stay curious,
Speaker 2: keep learning. IPv six is still evolving, new features, best practices, tools,
Speaker 2: they're always coming out.
Speaker 1: It's a life long adventure, exactly, and.
Speaker 2: There are tons of resources out there to help you.
Speaker 2: Websites like the ripe, NCC, the IETF and all sorts
Speaker 2: of industry forums great places to stay updated on the
Speaker 2: latest and greatest in IPv six.
Speaker 1: This has been an amazing deep dive into IPv six.
Speaker 1: I feel like we just scratched the surface, but we've
Speaker 1: covered a lot we have.
Speaker 2: Hopefully we've given you a solid understanding of IPv six
Speaker 2: and equipped you with the knowledge to keep exploring.
Speaker 1: Absolutely and to our listener, this training course document. It's
Speaker 1: a gold mine of information. It's got explanations, diagrams, configuration examples,
Speaker 1: even hands on exercises. A great companion for anyone who
Speaker 1: wants to go further with IPv six.
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. We highly recommend checking it out and
Speaker 2: putting what you've learned to practice. After all, the best
Speaker 2: way to learn is by doing.
Speaker 1: They always say that. Well, here's a final thought to ponder.
Speaker 1: Think about the impact of IPv six on emerging technologies
Speaker 1: like the Internet of Things.
Speaker 2: That's a great point. With billions of devices connecting to
Speaker 2: the internet, IPv six is the key to a more
Speaker 2: connect an intelligent world.
Speaker 1: So embrace IPv six, explore its possibilities. Most importantly, have
Speaker 1: fun learning. Thanks for joining us on this deep dive.
Speaker 1: Until next time. Until next time,
