Advanced Services’ Cisco IOS XR IPv6 Routing for Service Providers (XIPV6R) Version 3.5.2a

5-Day Hands-On Course

Course Description

This course provides technical training to Cisco service provider customers so that they can successfully deploy IPv6 on routers running Cisco IOS® XR Software Release 3.5 in an existing IPV4/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) environment. We review fundamental IPv6 behavior, IPv6-supported routing protocols, and mechanisms for tunneling of IPv6 over IPv4/MPLS. In addition, this course provides extensive hands-on lab exercises involving two service provider core networks and multiple customer sites connected into a multiautonomous system internet.

Course Objectives

What you will learn:

  • Characterize the types of IPv6 addresses, changes made to IP packet header, and how neighbor discovery takes place
  • Describe the various integration technologies that can be employed in implementing IPv6
  • Describe the changes made to IPv4 routing protocols to support IPv6
  • Configure IPv6 routing protocols on Cisco IOS XR Software routers and verify operation
  • Configure and verify operation of IPv6 multicast
  • Implement IPv6 provider edge (6PE) in an IPv4/MPLS environment
  • Implement IPv6 VPN provider edge (6VPE) in an IPv4/MPLS environment

Intended Audience

This course is for technical professionals who design, implement, and operate IPv6 routing protocols in a service provider network of routers running Cisco IOS XR Software. The following are considered the primary audience for this course:

  • Nework Operations Center (NOC) engineers
  • Network and Senior engineers 
  • Support engineers

Prerequisites

The following are prerequisites for this course:

  • Students should have knowledge of the Cisco IOS XR Software configuration syntax to the extent covered in the Cisco CRS-1 Essentials or Cisco XR12000 Series Essentials course.
  • Students attending this class should be able to establish, without assistance, a configuration for Open Shortest Path First Version 2 (OSPFv2), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) with Routing Policy Language (RPL) policies as accomplished in the Cisco IOS XR IPv4 Routing course labs.
  • Students must have a basic understanding of MPLS configuration and operation as covered in the Cisco CRS-1 Essentials or Cisco XR12000 Series Essentials course. 
  • Students must have a basic understanding of IPv6 concepts as covered in IPv6 Fundamentals (IPVSF).

Course Outline

  • The course outline is as follows:

    1. IPv6 Foundations Review (Addressing, Packet Header)
    2. IPv6 Operation (Router Advertisements, Neighbor Discovery) and Configuration
    3. OSPFv3 Routing
    4. IS-IS Routing for IPv6
    5. MP-BGP Routing for IPv6
    6. Other IPv6 Routing Protocols (EIGRP, RIPng)
    7. IPv6 Provider Edge (6PE)
    8. IPv6 VPN Provider Edge (6VPE)
    9. IPv6 Multicast

    Course Labs

    • Enabling IPv6 on Cisco IOS XR Software and implementing static IPv6 routing
    • Implementing OSPFv3 routing
    • Implementing IS-IS routing for IPv6 integrated with existing IPv4
    • Implementing MP-BGP routing for IPv6 over existing IPv4 peerings and IPv6 peerings
    • Implementing 6PE on existing provider edge routers using route reflectors and existing IPv4-signalled MPLS paths
    • Implementing 6VPE on IPv4-signalled MPLS L3 VPN baseline
    • Implementing IPv6 multicast using PIM with static rendezvous points, bootstrap routers, and embedded rendezvous points
