[news] Announcing the IPv6 Security Expert Exam and E-Learning Course
by Sandra Bras 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Dear colleagues, Our second IPv6 exam certification - IPv6 Security Expert is now live. We have also launched a new e-learning course on IPv6 Security in the RIPE NCC Academy that is aligned with the exam. With the uptake in IPv6 adoption, we hope to see more network operators taking the necessary security precautions when using IPv6 and following best practice. The course consists of 17 modules and 7 lab activities, which will help you apply concepts learned and using actual tools and realistic scenarios. You can find out more about the IPv6 Security Expert certification here: https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals/ipv6-security-expert-e… <https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals/ipv6-security-expert-e…> And take a look at the IPv6 Security online course in the RIPE NCC Academy at: https://academy.ripe.net <https://academy.ripe.net/> I would like to acknowledge everyone who has participated in the exam and course creation process, from answering our job task analysis survey to testing the exam and reviewing the course material to testing the lab activities. Having the involvement of the community is one of the strengths of our exams, and we thank all our volunteers. If you have any questions or feedback, you can reach us at <exams(a)ripe.net <mailto:exams@ripe.net>>. Best regards, Sandra Bras Assistant Manager Learning and Development RIPE NCC

RIPE-554-bis
by Azael Fernandez A. 08 Sep '21

Hi, I have been following the presentation in May and the messages in this list, and since 2018 I have asked *Jan *if you were planning to update this document. So I am very delighted to see that it is happening. By reviewing the new version I would suggest, in the case of the RFCs that are in the category of Standards Track, to have the indication of Standard, for example when updating the IPv6 Basic specification it would be better to write it in the following way: IPv6 Basic specification [RFC8200 or STD 86] and better to also have the reference to the RFC made obsolete by standard tracks for example, in this case: IPv6 Basic specification [RFC8200 or STD 86] (made obsolete RFC 2460), the main reason is that in almost all the datasheets, the original or previous RFC are still mentioned. Finally, I found a writing error in the mandatory support for CPE equipment, it says RFC7094, and it should be RFC*7084.* BEST, Azael
