IPv6 Basics for Beginners

[@brianconner1212]

This is the best video on ipv6 for CCNA, i passed my CCNA this month. All ipv6 questions were easy attempts because of this Video... I hope everyone who is preparing for ccna finds this gem

[@seanknight9808]

Are you working now as a network engineer? What other certs you have?

[@Blueaankh]

Hey can you help me convert my Wi-Fi from ipv4 to ipv6? I have 0 clue

[@danscourses]

Glad to hear that. Congratulations!

[@MonitorZero]

Brother, thank you. This is literally 3 chapters out of the Cisco book for CCNA and you explained most of the things going over my head.

[@telavus920]

IPv6 and OSPF was the part of the CCNA that started to get really heavy for me. This video was short but very precise to what I needed. No "funnyman" or time waste, straight to the point. Thank you so much! You have a new subscriber

[@scottsparling9653]

Dan, I know gratitude doesn't pay the bills, but thanks so much for all your work! One of your old old whiteboard videos about subnetting made me get it quickly back when all of my 200-301classmates couldn't get it, and to this day it is simple to do in my head. thank you!

[@ndoukeutchatatblondel688]

This is the most concise video I have found on this subject. Hat off.

[@OfamezO]

from all the videos targeting IPv6, this one is definitly one of my favourites and helped me out big time. Clear voice, clear and good to understand explanations, nice transitions, even better examples...

[@Blueaankh]

Hey can you help me convert my Wi-Fi from ipv4 to ipv6? I have 0 clue on how to do it :(

[@floyd151091]

Dan, your a natural teacher and I've been watching your videos for a while now whilst completing my Netacad Cisco switching and routing degree. As said before me, these courses are too good to be free but I speak on behalf of myself and im sure the others, we appreciate the time and effort you put in to spreading this good work online! Cheers again

[@MrBsagowitz]

Completely agree with this. I was dreading learning IPV6 but this is presented very clearly and succinctly.

[@bertie6355]

you're!!! not your...

[@macacinelecanale]

I was searching for this video for years. I've watched tens of videos that explained IPv6 for beginners but all so arid, nothing to understand in a "human readable" information. After watching your video I have finally understood the logic behind IPv6 address. Thank you for doing a great job!

[@jessedeleon4200]

I have to agree with some of the folks on this thread and say that you have a gift for teaching, free or paid, you have some of the best information out on the net, i test this week and ive been using your videos since day one, thank you.

[@alexramirez2448]

how the test go?

[@jessedeleon4200]

Pass ccna 200-125, first try

[@wolfemata1458]

Just beginning my journey in Networking. From your video, I discovered where to place the zero(s) in compressed IPv6 addresses. Sometimes reading texts can be confusing. I'm a visual learner and your KZbin video is very informative and educational. Thank~You Dan.

[@ranjanadissanayaka5390]

Hey man...this video helped me to understand how to find the network portion of the IPv6 address. You showing the binary version of the address made a light bulb go on my brain. Before watching this I couldn't figure how to find the network portion when the prefix is not a multiple of 56. But now I got a solid understanding thanks to you. 😀 Hope to see more content from you.

[@touchdownbroncos]

Fun little experiment I did. I have 2 LAN adaptors on both my machines. I run all IPV6 traffic thru one adaptor, and the IPV4 thru the other on each machine. Not only does it provide a bit of load balancing, it gives you an idea of how much IPV6 is TRULY used as of today. For me and my network, IPV6 is double the traffic of IPV4. This is reflected in the amount of data each adaptor handles.

[@ronnyzambrana9933]

Dan, I am a big fan of you, thank you so much 4 everything, I have learned much more with your videos, than going to clases!!!

[@ipv6builder797]

Have you met ipv6 builder?

[@charlesokoh3373]

I just love Mr. Dan’s way of teaching 💯

[@darshitpandit5459]

Used to hate slide teaching techniques in college, but this is way too good that too for topic with very less resources online. Keep it up! Thanks a lot.

[@wnb5508]

This is the Ipv6 video I have been looking for, easy to understand with the tables format, hats off Dan 👍.

[@bobyrasta100]

Thank you Mr Dan, your courses are awesome, you are a teacher by nature.

[@mohammedal-shaboti7939]

Awesome, Simple, clear and to the point. Thank you

[@has_elhussein]

Best Explaination i have ever saw Thanks a lot to you

[@bantinho2480]

I think I finally understood the fundamentals of Ipv6. Thank you!

[@delphinejacquet4994]

This video is a great clarification of IPv6 characteristics. Thank you so much.

[@bhthllj]

This is a great tutorial! Cudos to the presenter for a concise presentation!

[@GTInai]

Hey Dan! Thank you very much for this video. I know for sure that the IPV6 part of the exam was what kicked my butt. I'm very glad that I did a process of elimination and chose SLAAC on my last question haha. Sadly, I only scored 800 on my first CCNA exam. Just 25 more points and I would have passed.

[@majik11111]

Dan, thank you so much for this amazing explanation! I've learned so much from your video's in such a short time considering. With watching most of your video's I think it's been a maximum of 5-6 hours. In those 5-6 hours I've learned more from you then from my Cisco teacher who has tried explaining the basics to the entire class, however I've been miles and miles ahead because of your amazing video's!. Thank you so much for putting all this effort and your time into educating other people with more networking knowledge. Greetings from a thankful young student out of The Netherlands! (17)

[@adedejiemmanuel1]

Thank you. Your videos are always comprehensive.

[@julianwildauer]

Such a good explanation! ❤️❤️❤️ this man is a teacher by heart 🔥

[@nasserabbassi7303]

by far the best explantation over IPv6, thanks

[@danscourses]

Thanks Nasser!

[@reeteshhurkhoo9231]

Thank you Sir. Concise but straight to the point and easily understand.

[@jake231]

Explained it so well! Can't thank you enough - best IPv6 video I have ever come across

[@whitelightning1683]

Awesome explanation! Thank you for your time! Much easier to grasp than the uCertify Net+ course

[@dcr630]

One of the best videos I’ve seen. Great explanation

[@bernardgarrett3897]

Very Good. Clear and Concise.

[@saeedhassani3871]

Dan, Excellent intro to IPv6, and I watched through with great interest. Just a minor correction: The 6 hextets for all-solicited nodes multicast will be 6 x 4 = 24 and not 28, which is mentioned on slides 9 and 11.

[@crouserhd297]

i was almost raging, because i couldnt find the error in my calculation xD

[@crouserhd297]

Minute 3:00 there should be 12 instead of 10 too right?

[@subhendu7221]

Lovely tutorial. Concepts simply explained.

[@jalleharald1303]

This is a great video and resources. The go through is perfect, the slides helps a lot and you also provide the slides! It was a long time ago I saw a video this perfect for what I needed to get started with something new. Thanks!

[@lucreciatex]

Hello Dan: As always enjoying your teaching. Could you please explain more about the Solicited Nodes Multicast Address??? Would be nice a full video about that subject ;) Thanks for your amazing legacy to the Network Industry. I love your work and Im so grateful for what I'm learning from you.

[@albertgrennan2499]

Best IPv6 video I've seen. Great Job

[@erich8456]

GREAT video and THANK YOU for posting the slides!

[@Username-hb1qi]

thank you for the great ipv6 info. well organized.

[@indian3197]

Great video. One modification. In IPv6 Slaac Slide, in the first column "message", please update the sentence as " Similar to ARP in IPv4" instead of IPv6.

[@ABMA79]

That is one of the briefest and on-point explanation. Thanks a lot. But I do have a question, I am getting the feeling that IPv6 is autoconfigured by devices, which means other than learning subnetting, as a network administrator, all you need to do is provide your IPv6 subnet and the device will handle the rest. am I right?

[@markjones7138]

Thank you very much for this, it's the best one I've come across and I have been looking all day! Huge relief :)

[@andrevisser8940]

Dan you're the man!! Thanks for this informative video.

[@CptSpears007]

Great video and well explained, but I find the yellow circle pointer distracting. For me it makes the text under it more difficult to read. Might just be me though.

[@nicoladellino8124]

Very nice and useful video, THX.

[@newmennium]

Thanks for the video, but the decimal place is in the wrong position between the 2nd and 3rd octet of the binary conversion of the IPv4 address

[@vladislavkaras491]

Hi Dan its nice video and very informative. Could you pls also explain why is the 7th bit flipped while auto configuring the EUI-64 address.

[@phxnetworkjunkie4596]

Great Video. Thanks Dan.

[@alanspicertelecom]

19:15 Similar to ARP in IPv4.

[@BijouBakson]

This stuff doesn't start making sense until you starting seeing how it is implemented on a network. There's a reason why it's taking so long to release it.

[@clintoncregger3678]

Are you saying it is taking long to release because no one understands how to use it? Untill they start using it... I am writing a paper on why it has been taking so long to implement

[@dzmetal6021]

Big facts, I'm just starting to learn about computer science on my own and I keep seeing the term ipv6 here and there. I thought if I could find a video explaining it then i would be able to understand it, boy was I wrong. I am lost as shit haha. Do you know a starting point to help me get to a point where I can understand whats going on in this video?

[@imrane9382]

I don't think thats the issue here .. its just that we still have some IPv4 left to play with . The moment we run out of IPv4 , there will be no way to connect to the world until you use your IPv6 address .

[@imrane9382]

@@dzmetal6021 Go learn IPv4. It's more simple and everyone knows about it. Then IPv6 will start making sense to you.

[@devinacosta6307]

Keep it going sir!

[@freddyparra4880]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@ShahAlam-xx3qd]

[@micheal74rich]

@8-04 you were explaining that end-user i.e. corporate company can make use of hextests from /48 to /64 can be used to do subnet, which mean I could have 65536 subnets by the use of one /16 hextests ? Please confirm, my understanding?

[@spudhead169]

After careful consideration I've decided that IPv6 is a gigantic clusterfuck of an ill-conceived attempt to resolve a problem that just by sheer luck happens to actually work. A perfect example of what you get by just bolting random bits to a shed until you just happen to make a car.

[@iamlorindo]

Wow... that is a lot of info... I'm trying to understand it... but it's a lot

[@deadduck8307]

Very nicely done! But, RAs support DNS configuration ... maybe they didn't when the video was made? but in any case, now they do for sure. How I know: I run PiHole as my gateway which I believe does both DHCPv6 and RA, but using Wireshark, I can see the DNS server listed in the RA as a RDNS server, So, goodbye DHCP! ... though I think a lot of people (ISPs included) still do DHCP for the familiarity to IPv4.

[@65gtotrips]

Hi Dan, At about 26:47 you speak to configuring the Link-Local address. I thought that once you configure the Global-Unicast address, that the router automatically configures it’s own Link-Local address❓

[@trietnguyen1745]

Very helpful!

[@kris___5655]

[@gunner4ever924]

excellent!!

[@MrTr3D]

how did you get the ipv6? was it converted from ipv4 to ipv6?

[@SzwarcuKX5]

Are /32 (v4) and /128 (v6) networks usefull outside loopbacks? I don't really get the "network of one" idea. It only works if you don't need default gateway and broadcast (v6 has no broadcast). Is there any other purpose than network testing?

thank you so much!

[@droidcrasher]

QUESTION: In the 3rd hextet (the SUBNET)… Can the administrator use the 0000 HEXTET as a useable subnet !?

[@MnemonicCarrier]

Why are there only 9 bits used for the "provider prefix"? Does this mean there can only be a maximum of 512 providers?
