Super Easy IPV6 In 10 Minutes

For some the thought of managing network addresses can be a real headache. I mean you have to know not just hexadecimal but also binary. I can imagine the look of horror on your face. What is that and how does it even work. Well in this super simple session I’m going to take you through everything you need to know about IPV6 in 10 minutes. So if your planning for a job in IT or even studying for an exam, this is a session that you cannot afford to miss. Enjoy!

There goes my highly successful avoidance of IPv6 since it's creation lol. I now know 99% more about IPv6 than I did before watching. I haven't yet decided whether I'm happy or upset about it lol. Thanks Andy! Very concise to the point and easy to understand.

You are amazing! Thank you for this explanation. So many of your videos helps keep so many brushed up on what they need to know for their IT Administration work. So very helpful.

Hey man you got it I have been looking at ipv6 addresses scared and even thought I had to rewind one I think it clicked kudos to you

This is a gem. I saved it in one of my playlists for reference.

i love that you wrote in, 'what the internet have done.' tickled me.

Nice. I'm a little confused you were saying why hexadecimal can't use 16? Didn't make sense that you said "it's the network number" and you use 0 to 15 not 1 to 15 (that would only be Base 15 making no sense)... Here's what I thought you were trying to explain: Base 16 means sixteen symbols possible per digit. Base 10 (we call decimal) has ten symbols '0' to '9', but hexadecimal uses those plus 'A' to 'F' giving you 16 symbols instead. We do it to exactly match 4 bits in binary (Base 2). So the reason you "can't use 16" is because we start at 0 not 1 for the 16 symbols of Base 16. Same reason the decimal symbol cannot be 10 because the ten symbols are 0 to 9.

Awesome presentation, I would like to know about the multicasting and how exactly the data is sent to other devices. I am learning IPV6 outside of any school or formal education. So some questions I have overlook basic concepts I should already have. However I do grasp the protocols usage very well and I am experimenting with what it can do in regards to sending messages to multiple devices. I am certainly looking into specializing into this technology as a professional consultant.

There is still so many unanswered questions. I'm an IT professional with 15 years experience and I've never used IPv6 so the statement that you need it is false. When would I actually use this? Yes the main reason for it is because we're running out of IPv4 addresses, but since the introduction of NAT, this isn't an issue. If it wasn't for NAT, we'd have run out of addresses years ago. I run a nationwide company with multiple offices, and unless each office has more than 254 devices, a /24 subnet is enough. I personally use /22 for future proofing. So with IPv6, is not not the case this is used for the routers internet facing connection? Would I have to also use it internally, or can it still be IPv4 internally?

All you've done here is explain hex, and that you can squish the address down if it has recurring zero's. What's the standard equivalent of 192.168 you'd use internally? Watching this does not make you an expert as you claim at the end. I am in no position to apply this in the real world at all.

Great video as always, and a good refresher on how to convert decimal base numbers to other base systems: how can you guarantee me that 1, 328, 334, 674 and 1, 564, 930, 436 are indeed distinct numbers? 😁😁😁

Hello Sir, Could you please help me with something about Azure subscription for some reason Microsoft don't accept prepaid or virtual visa cards they need visa cards not prepaid cards, I am living in Libya where banks here give only prepaid visa cards, is there a way I can get azure subscription so I can do practice while preparing for Microsoft certification, thank you
