Karl, If we can have 50 posts about 23 IP phones on list, then I'm sure some discussion about IPv6 training can be endured even if there are parties with a commercial interest. I am interested and I wonder how many more folk in my area would also be interested (Christchurch) hence why I've copied the NZNOG in as well. What the discussion over the past few days has highlighted for me is I clearly don't know enough and if the messages in my inbox are anything to go by, then there must be others in the same boat. I'd like to understand what the training I need might cost me. How much people think I need to invest in myself to get myself on track. I'd be interested to hear from others, on or off list who might also be interested in some more help to get up to v6 speed. D On 5/03/2013 4:35 p.m., Karl Auer wrote:

Hi Don. This message is not to the list, but you should feel free to quote it there if you wish. I hope you will not interpret it as spam. I specialise in IPv6, and I specialise in IPv6 training - see www.into6.com.au. Let me know if you are interested. It is comprehensive, highly customisable and I would be happy to do a workshop (where we get down and just do some stuff in your network for a few hours). Or we could set up a network together - whatever you want or need. I'm also happy to come to New Zealand, especially if you can get a few other people together. and I use a Mikrotik in my SOHO network :-)

If I find it over whelming, then I wonder how many others are in the same boat? Lots. I've trained over 300 people in the last few years. But think of it this way - if you had had to absorb all of IPv4 at once, that would have been overwhelming too! Luckily 90% of IPv6 is the same as IPv4 - you don't need to relearn it, you just need to recognise it.

How do we trim all this down to subsets that I actually need to know just to operate? Our courses concentrate on concepts that you can apply to any hardware, any network. We don't teacj Cisco, Juniper or Mikrotik, we teach IPv6.

This needs to be in 20 pages, not the 200+ that you just linked. Wellll... for a home network maybe. Just.

I need pictures. I use a GUI configuration tool, not CLI. You'll be amazed how little needs configuring. A few router interfaces - if you have a GUI, it should be able to do IPv6. Then it's just a case of knowing what to configure, and our courses leave you confidently knowing that.
