The old version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4, has been such a success that we are now faced with a shortage of available addresses. This has the effect of heavily penalising new entrants as well as other players who no longer have enough IPv4 addresses. Maintaining IPv4 is also proving more and more costly for businesses.

It is therefore advisable to migrate to the new version of the protocol (IPv6) in order to manage a scalable and extensible pool of IP addresses.

Description and aims of the training course

This training course will enable you to:

  • Explain the importance of considering IPv6 when developing your IT network
  • Deploy an efficient technical and human organization to prepare your IPv6 transition
  • Coordinate the implementation of IPv6 in your company to support IT network growth

Duration

2 days

Target audience

System and network administrators, CIOs and deputy CIOs

Prerequisites

  • Experience in one of the following business lines
  • Familiarity with the TCP/IPv4 protocol suite (the reminder of certain functional aspects of IPv4 will be solely for the purpose of comparison as a teaching aid)

DNS Administrator

For some years now, both public and private actors have been seeing certain Internet services become inaccessible on account of problems linked to their DNS hosting. These breakdowns have considerable consequences: clients unable to access their bank accounts, online stores inaccessible, public services closed, etc. The robustness of DNS services generally suggests that Internet services are functioning normally; so, without a suitable DNS administration, an organisation can become extremely vulnerable. It is essential for any organisation to have skilled administration that allows it to maintain a comprehensive, high-quality DNS service, whether it is hosted in-house or entrusted to a hosting service provider.
