Preparing IPv6 :)

I am preparing IPv6 in two fold. Now that we have multicasting include in this. So the core part of the top[ic I will cover first that includes;

* IPv6 Addressing (all kinds & enabling them over ethernet & frame relay)
* Routing Protocols (rip, eigrp, ospf & bgp)
* Tunneling (all four)
* redistribution & filtering
* NAT

I am already practicing some of the topics mentioned above.
Then I am planning to hit the part that includes multicasting which would include

* PIM , MLD & others

The thing is that I need to get some theory for IPv6 multicasting, so will need some time. I am planning to club that with the core multicasting part of the topics. I have 14-17 of January off so will plan the multicasting topics during that time frame.

Happy New Year !!!

Hope we all had a wonderful holiday with lots of fun . Well its the New Year, time to change things around & time to earn the CCIE

I am looking to work on Section 3 & 4 starting today. Section 3 of the blueprint covers IPV6. EIGRP is the new add on although I already have learnt & played around with it. It will be interesting to work on the redistribution & filtering topics. I wonder how much of it has changed in the exam & to what level we are required to learn. Well its best we know it all !!

In my opinion IPv6 will be & is being deployed all around. So I dont want to lose out not knowing stuff. So IPv6 it will be.

INE has updated their Volume1 material. Will download the updates & practice them too. Will blog daily from today @least for the next 2 months as I am pushing forward @ full pace.

Once again wishing all you mates a Happy CCIE New Year !!
