The complications and potential problems associated with IPv6 migration make it all the more important for network managers to receive training and be fully informed. Start early, plan carefully, and test extensively. If you can, take your time during the changeover to acquire the necessary knowledge and know-how. Staff training is a central issue and a step you should take right at the beginning of your IPv6 migration planning.
