Explain why IPv6 is needed due to IPv4 address exhaustion, and how 32-bit IPv4 space and private addressing create scarcity while IPv6 offers a scalable successor.
Discover how IPv6 addresses are distributed from IANA to RIRs and ISPs, then to customers, and examine the remaining 128-bit address pools used by local Internet registries.
Explore IPv6 address notation by understanding hextets, 128-bit length, and hexadecimal representation. Learn to apply leading zeros removal and compress consecutive zeros with colons to produce concise, readable addresses.
Discover how to determine the IPv6 prefix and the network versus host parts using slash notation, with /64 examples, hex-to-binary conversion, and zero filling.
Explore IPv6 multicast addresses, learn why they always start with ff, and examine examples like ff02 for link-local multicast on the local segment.
Discover IPv6 global unicast addresses, their role as public internet addresses, and how they differ from IPv4 public addresses, with foundational context for upcoming MikroTik labs.
Configure slaac for ipv6 addressing on MikroTik routers by implementing stateless auto configuration, router advertisements and solicitations, create a /60 pool and /64 subnets, and advertise dns to hosts.
Configure dhcpv6 prefix delegation on MikroTik to distribute /48 prefixes from a /40 pool to two customers, with DNS and prefix management through a lab setup.
Explore configuring IPv6 firewall rules on MikroTik, including mangle and other options, and learn why NAT is unnecessary with IPv6, plus a lab on configuring IPsec.
Use an IPv6 tunnel broker to connect an IPv4-only network to the IPv6 internet. Learn to configure the tunnel on your router and why a public IPv4 address is required.
Set up MikroTik IPv6 lab by creating a 6to4 tunnel with Hurricane Electric and ensure a public IP on the WAN so the PC can reach an IPv6 server.
Train with a certified MikroTik trainer to take official courses, complete labs, and sit the exam to become a MikroTik certified engineer, with in-person Netherlands or live online options.

IPv6 is the future!!!!
We know that IPv4 addressing has been very exhausted because the demand on having IP addresses to route to the internet has became very big. For this reason, to be able to serve more people, IPv6 has been created.
I have designed this course to explain to you everything about IPv6 such as addressing, notation, types, registries and much more, and also how to apply IPv6 on MikroTik routers.
As the demand on IPv6 has been increased lately, so you as network engineers should have the knowledge of how to deploy IPv6 in your or customer's network.
This course helps you also to be ready for the MikroTik exam which is MTCIPv6E.
The course will have theoretical topics and a lot of LABS. I advise you to have 4 MikroTik routers, a PC and internet connection to follow my LABS. Alternatively, you can use GNS3 with MikroTik CHR images to emulate the LABs on 1 PC.
Finally, if you want to be familiar with IPv6 and now how to apply it on MikroTik routers, then I advise you to register in my course so I can show you everything about IPv6.
