🔹 Understanding OSPFv3
                                   •How OSPFv3 differs from OSPFv2 
                                                          •Key features and advantages in IPv6 networks 
                                                                   •OSPFv3 Packet Types (Hello, DBD, LSR, LSU, LSAck)
🔹 Link-State Advertisements (LSAs) in OSPFv3
                                                    •LSA Types in OSPFv3  oType 1: Router LSA 
                                     o - Type 2: Network LSA 
                                                    o - Type 3: Inter-Area Prefix LSA 
                                                     o - Type 4: Inter-Area Router LSA 
                                    o - Type 5: External LSA 
                              o - Type 7: NSSA LSA 
                                                                                •Understanding LSA flooding and database synchronization 
                                                                               •Hands-on analysis of LSAs using show ipv6 ospf database 
🔹 Configuring OSPFv3 from Scratch
                                                                                   •Enabling OSPFv3 on interfaces (ipv6 ospf process-id area x) 
                                                                                   •Assigning Router IDs (RID) manually vs. automatic selection 
                     •Multi-Area OSPFv3 Setup 
                                                                        •Passive Interfaces and Network Type Considerations  
🔹 Advanced OSPFv3 Features
                                                        •OSPFv3 Address Families (IPv4 over OSPFv3)
🔹 Verifying OSPFv3 Operations
                                                                                                 • Checking OSPFv3 neighbor relationships (show ipv6 ospf neighbor) 
                                                                              • Viewing the OSPFv3 database (show ipv6 ospf database) 
                                                   • Examining routes (show ipv6 route ospf) . 
🔹 Troubleshooting OSPFv3
                                                                                                                           •Common issues: Missing adjacencies, mismatched RIDs, network type mismatches 
                                                •Debugging OSPFv3 (debug ipv6 ospf adj)

In the OSPFv3 Essentials Workshop, students will gain a solid understanding of OSPFv3, the IPv6-optimized version of the OSPF routing protocol. 
This hands-on workshop covers key topics such as OSPFv3 fundamentals, LSA types, neighbor relationships, area design and authentication. 
Through real-world lab scenarios, students will configure and troubleshoot OSPFv3 on Cisco routers, ensuring they will gain 
a solid foundation and the skills needed for enterprise-level networking. 
Whether you're preparing for a certification or enhancing your IPv6 routing knowledge, 
this three (3) hour workshop will provide the essential expertise to deploy and manage OSPFv3 efficiently -
 ... & much more!
