Dive into the fundamentals of IPv6 addressing in this 28-minute beginner-friendly video tutorial. Explore the hexadecimal number system, preferred format examples, and techniques for omitting leading zeroes. Learn about the differences between leading and trailing zeroes, and understand the correct application of all-zeroes hextets omission. Discover various IPv6 address types, including unicast and multicast addresses, and grasp the concept of prefix notation. Examine global unicast addresses, global routing prefixes, and subnet IDs. Master basic subnetting techniques, including extending subnet prefixes and subnetting on nibble boundaries. Engage in a practical lab exercise to reinforce your understanding of IPv6 addressing. By the end of this tutorial, gain a solid foundation in IPv6 addressing concepts, preparing you for more advanced networking topics.
