Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use IPv6 with Packet Tracer. We saw how to configure IPv6 static and RIP routing, and also configured IPv6-only hosts to communicate over an IPv4 path by tunneling traffic.

In the next chapter, we'll explore the world of wireless devices and learn how to use the physical workspace to determine the range of those devices.
