Remember that IPv6 is composed of 128 bits. This is commonly expressed by 16′s in 8 groups (8 * 16 = 128).
Example IPv6 address: FEC0:0:0:A:125:23FF:FEE2:1F53 (count the “:” it is a group by 8)

Summarization Tidbits:

Example:

Summarize the following addresses:
FEC0:0:0:A:125:23FF:FEE2:1F53 and
FEC0:0:0:E:10A:9FFF:FED7:D3

0000 0000 0000 1010 – A
0000 0000 0000 1110 – E
0000 0000 0000 1000 – 8 – common mask

FEC0 + 0 + 0 = 48 bit position
16 + 16 + 16 = 48,

+ (12 zeros common between A and E, as per above)
48 + 12 = 60

+ (1 bit for the 8 – common mask)
60 + 1 = 61  <—total bit position, this is your MASK.

Answer: FEC0:0:0:8::/61

Gets?

The upcoming Version 4.0 of Cisco CCIE® Routing and Switching certification will test hands-on troubleshooting, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), and VPN networking.

To reflect the growth of the network as a service platform, Cisco is revising the certification requirements for CCIE Routing & Switching (CCIE R&S)–the expert level certification for network engineers. The new requirements were developed with assistance from Cisco enterprise customers and reflect the expectations of employers across industries.

The competencies required for CCIE R&S v4.0 certification were released on May 5, 2009, and are available on the Cisco Learning Network under the CCIE R&S v4.0 Written Exam topics and CCIE R&S v4.0 Lab Exam topics. Exams based on the new requirements are scheduled for release on October 18, 2009, and will immediately replace the currently available v3.0 exams. Candidates who plan to take their exams on October 18, 2009, or later should prepare using the new v4.0 exam topics.

Both the written and lab exams will be refreshed with new questions and will cover MPLS and VPN networking. The written exam will add scenario-based questions to the multiple choice questions, and the lab will now require hands-on troubleshooting of preconfigured networks, in addition to configuration. Exam duration and pricing will remain the same, with the two-hour written exam at USD$350 and the eight-hour lab at USD$1400. A beta version of the new CCIE R&S v4.0 written exam (351-001) will be available to all customers in the July–August 2009 timeframe at a discounted price of USD$50. An announcement will be made when scheduling begins.
