FAQ
Do you cover DHCPv6 PD?
We reference it where relevant to routing advertisements; DHCPv6 deep design is out of scope.
Is wireless IPv6 included?
Only where it affects routed infrastructure; WLAN controller specifics are excluded.
What if my org blocks ICMPv6?
We discuss policy implications briefly; changing security policy is your internal process.
Participant notes
“IPv6 Routing Cutover Workshop’s rollback rehearsal caught a gap in our neighbor checks. Mentors were patient with basic questions.”
