"Do I Know This Already?" Quiz

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • IPv6 Routing Overview—Describes the various routing protocols that support IPv6.

  • Configuring and Verifying IPv6 and OSPFv3—Provides the commands to configure and verify IPv6 and OSPFv3.

  • Transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6—Discusses several transition mechanisms that may be used to move from an IPv4 network to an IPv6 network.

The main theme of this book is routing. This chapter first describes how routing can be accomplished within an Internet Protocol (IP) version 6 (IPv6) network. Next, the chapter explores, in detail, configuring and verifying an IPv6 network with Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) version 3 (OSPFv3) routing. The final part of this chapter examines how a mixture of IP version 4 (IPv4) and IPv6 protocols will be handled, since there obviously will not be an "IPv6 Conversion Day" when all networks change from IPv4 to IPv6.

The purpose of the "Do I Know This Already?" quiz is to help you decide which parts of this chapter to use. If you already intend to read the entire chapter, you do not necessarily need to answer these questions.

The 10-question quiz, derived from the major sections in the "Foundation Topics" portion of the chapter, helps you determine how to spend your limited study time.

Table 21-1 outlines the major topics discussed in this chapter and the corresponding quiz questions.

Caution

The goal of self-assessment is to gauge your mastery of the topics in this chapter. If you do not know the answer to a question or are only partially sure of the answer, you should mark the question wrong for purposes of the self-assessment. Giving yourself credit for an answer you correctly guessed skews your results and might provide you with a false sense of security.
