Get hands-on IPv6 experience

In one of his recent articles, Scott Morris provided an excellent summary why IPv6 is still on the horizon. The point I like most (as it's often forgotten by the techies) is this:

“After all of the pieces (network, applications, OS, etc.) are done, do you have enough people with enough knowledge to manage and design things? Now may be a good time for some training!”

Cisco has already included IPv6 in its mainstream BSCI course (so IPv6 is now officially part of CCNP certification). Apart from visiting the BSCI classroom course, you also have a few other options to get your hands on IPv6 training material:

• Get the BSCI 3.0 blended solution that includes student guide and access to on-line lab exercises (real routers, no simulations :).
• If you're a Cisco partner, you can get the BSCI lab exercises from Partner E-learning Connection. To help you get past the site complex navigation, click this link after logging into PEC.
• You can also get the full set of BSCI remote lab exercises from NIL Data Communications.
