IPV4 and IPV6 Practice Exam

The Certificate in IPv4 and IPv6 is designed to provide individuals with a comprehensive understanding of both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, addressing schemes, and coexistence strategies. The program covers topics such as IPv4 addressing, subnetting, IPv6 addressing, transition mechanisms, and best practices for dual-stack implementations.
Candidates in the program will develop skills in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. They will also learn how to design and implement IPv6 transition strategies to ensure seamless migration from IPv4 to IPv6.
Candidates are expected to have a basic understanding of networking principles, including TCP/IP, subnetting, and routing. Familiarity with IPv4 and basic knowledge of IPv6 would be beneficial but is not required.
Why is IPV4 and IPV6 important?

• IPv4 is the most widely used IP protocol for internet communication, but due to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 is becoming increasingly important.
• IPv6 provides a much larger address space than IPv4, allowing for the growth of internet-connected devices.
• Understanding both IPv4 and IPv6 is essential for network administrators and engineers to ensure compatibility and smooth operation of networks in the transition period.

Who should take the IPV4 and IPV6 Exam?

• Network Engineers
• Network Administrators
• Systems Engineers
• IT Managers
