Summary
Students in the course will gain knowledge of key network components and protocols in IPv6 networks and their implementation on open-source solutions. The course focuses to practical training. The students will be led to design and manage components such as router, DHCPv6 server, DNS, or mail server in Linux environment. The graduates would be able to create and manage computer networks in smaller companies after completing this course.
