Hi Keith, I'm not even sure why I am interested in this topic except the fact that I have the curiousity of a cat and I came across your excellent video and it was the only one where the whole IPv6 conversion explanation made sense to me. Not only did I watch the whole video, but I am now wanting to figure out the homework assignment on my own as well. I just have 1 issue; while I understand the decimal to hex conversion, I am not sure how to correctly convert binary to decimal,any suggestions?

[Gerardsp]

@bdclark0423

To convert binary to decimal, you use the same system of notation as shown in the video, for 4 digits of binary (one nibble), which is 8 4 2 1. These are the values of the positions increasing by powers of 2 as you move to the left. As shown in the video, you use the 8421 as a header, then align the binary digits below the header. Where there is a 1, the value is taken positionally:

8421

1101 = 8+4+0+1 = 13 (decimal)

0010 = 0+0+2+0 = 2 (decimal)

[Keith6783]

@bdclark0423

Thanks for the comments. I have a video that walks through the binary to decimal conversion. It on my YouTube channel Keith6783. The title is Base 10 compared to Base 2 Binary tutorial. Let me know if that helps with you mastering converting binary to decimal. Best wishes, Keith

i came up with the hex number of 1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

@Rick1972mx

Thanks for your post! Do me a favor, and double check the first 4 hex characters, and let me know what you find.

Thanks,

Keith

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

nice2x...

[luckyatutube]

Answer is:

1233:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[Keith6783]

@luckyatutube

Please double check the 4th character from the left, and let me know what you find.

Thanks, Keith

[luckyatutube]

@Keith6783 Oops it's "2".. actually after converting it in hurry.. i thought the answer would be like 1,2,3,.... and so on.. but then confirming once again i find 0010.. and mistakenly i wrote 3..

it's

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[Keith6783]

@luckyatutube

Nice work!

@david197666

Thank you for watching the video.

On both IPv4 and IPv6 the network bits are on the left, and the host bits are on the right. Regarding the bits on the right, which are not part of the "1's" in the mask, in IPv4 they call it the host address portion, in IPv6 they call it the host ID.

Best wishes,

Keith

[Coolmax71]

Hello Keith,

Sorry for the noobish question, but at 4:12 you use "mask" word. Are mask and prefix length same things?

[Keith6783]

@Coolmax71

Yes, the mask length, is the same as the prefix length. If the mask is 64 bits of the 128, then the network is a /64. Same thing, different words.

Best wishes,

Keith

Hi Keith,

You explained the concept of IPv6 address in a clear and convincing style.

Your English explanation is also very precise.

Even a foreigner like me can easily understand.

Thanks for providing such a wonderful tutorial.

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[Keith6783]

@owamp861

Thank you for your kind words. You are very welcome.

Best wishes,

Keith

[TheAmShark]

Thank you. Appreciate your style of delivery

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[CommanderBR]

Nice video Keith. The home adress and ip adress analogy was really good.

The homework was pretty easy with the converting table on the screen ;)

Excellent work!

[heilla88]

Hey keith ^^ i really like how you can explain ipv6 and everyone can understand it ^^

Looking forward to watching the rest since i'll be studying networks next year =)

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

@heilla88

Excellent. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing.

Here is my answer to the challenge : 1232 : 5678 : 9ABC : DEF1

[Keith6783]

@dafunkychild

Perfect! Great work. Please enjoy the next video, which is posted, and discusses IPv6 Link Local addresses.

[powerbook1]

Hi Keith, once more great video and explanation of IPV6.

Completely off Track: If Cisco doesn't work out for you I am sure a radio station would love to use your services to present "The Love Zone" at night... For some reason when I hear your voice I see "Casey Kasem" and long distance dedications :)

[123456iambelial]

Keith, where did you get your stencil icons? Do you use Visio on your Mac? If you do, are you using VM?

I am just curious.

Thanks

[ericleahy83]

Hey Keith,

Great video..Good little question at the end, gets the brain working ;)

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[vicky9323480065]

In CCNA what should we know about ipv6

[vicky9323480065]

The conversion of the above binary in the video in hex will be

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[abhinandanjuyal]

Great video, As always.

answer is 1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

A quick question though, Which vision template do you use for the topology?

Its awesome. ;)

Cheers

AJ

[abhinandanjuyal]

@abhinandanjuyal oops, i meant visio stencil... sorry bout the typo..

[ErikRidwan]

Fantastic,

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

looking forward for another awesome video

Keith

Thanks for the video.

1232:5678:9ABC:DEF1

[Keith6783]

@cisk0skid

Right on the money. Excellent conversion from binary to hex.

Congrats!

[fnanfne]

Thanks Keith!

@nadal1001

You are very welcome. Thanks for posting.

[KingUK]

Your videos are awesome! Far better than CBT Nuggets or Train Signal. More entertaining and informative.

[Keith6783]

@KingUK

Thanks for the positive feedback. (I always enjoy that). At the end of the video there is a short assignment to convert a binary host-id, into hex. If you are willing, take a few minutes, and post your results.

Thanks again,

Keith

[GoodGameOKC1]

Outstanding video Keith!! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

[Keith6783]

@GoodGameOKC1

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. At the end of the video, there is a "brief" homework assignment. If you get a few minutes, would love to have you check it out, and post your results.

Thanks again,

Keith
