Learn IPv6
December 7, 2011.
Do you need to learn about IPv6? Manta Technologies has just updated its TCP/IP in the IBM i Environment series to cover this newest version of the Internet Protocol. This Manta series takes roughly 10 to 14 hours to complete and contains the following courses:
- TCP/IP Fundamentals
- TCP/IP Applications
- Configuring and Managing TCP/IP
- Managing TCP/IP Using System i Navigator
- TCP/IP in the IBM i Environment Competency Exam
The first two courses of this series should be taken by all IBM i professionals who will be using TCP/IP protocols, applications, or related products. The remaining courses are intended for the system administrator responsible for configuring and managing TCP/IP on an IBM i system.
The following are among the new topics that were added to the series:
- IPv6 addresses
- IPv6 address types, including loopback, unicast, anycast, private, broadcast, and link-local
- The IPv6 neighborhood discovery and router solicitation processes
- Automatic address configuration
- Setting up IPv6 on an IBM i system
- Why IPv6 eliminates the need for ARP and DHCP
- How the use of IPv6 affects existing IBM i applications
As with all Manta courses, current online customers with a license to the TCP/IP in the IBM i Environment series have already received the updates. This occurred automatically and at no additional charge as soon as the updates became available.
