IPv6 Addressing & Subnetting
IPv6 Addressing and Subnetting focuses on building a strong understanding of how IPv6 addressing works and how it is planned for real-world network deployment. It begins by explaining the structure of IPv6 addresses, including their 128-bit size, hexadecimal format, abbreviation rules, prefix lengths, and approaches to subnetting in IPv6 networks. Learners are then introduced to different categories of IPv6 addresses such as link-local, multicast, unspecified, and global unicast, helping them correctly identify and interpret these addresses in configurations and packet analysis. The course further demonstrates practical usage by showing how IPv6 addressing can be configured using both static and dynamic methods across various operating systems including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Cisco IOS environments, making it relevant for multi-platform networking scenarios.

Keith Bogart
Course Instructor
Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
