IPv6 Unique Local Address (ULA) is a type of address intended for local communication within a private network. It is similar in purpose to the IPv4 private address ranges (like 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16), which are used for internal networking without being routable on the global internet.
DetailsIPv6 global Unique address (GUA) is a type of IPv6 address that is routable over the Internet, allowing devices to communicate globally. This section will explore the process by which GUAs are allocated to enterprises and service providers, including the roles of key organizations like IANA, RIRs, and LIRs. We will also cover how addresses are ultimately assigned to individual endpoints.
DetailsAn IPv6 link-local address with the prefix FE80::/10 is a IP address that is automatically or manually assigned to an IPv6-enabled device for local network (link) connectivity. These addresses are always present on an IPv6 interface, even if other address types are assigned. They play a critical role in IPv6 networks, supporting essential functions like neighbor discovery, automatic address configuration, and local communication, which are vital for the proper operation of an IPv6 network.
DetailsIn this section, we will review and compare IPv4 and IPv6 address types, focusing on the new terminologies and address ranges associated with each address type. This overview will introduce you to the key concepts, while the following sections will provide a detailed discussion dedicated to each IPv6 address type.
DetailsThis lesson focuses on the differences between IPv4 and IPv6 headers. We will explore which IPv4 header fields have been removed in IPv6, what new fields and capabilities have been added, and which fields have been renamed. Additionally, we will discuss how the experiences learned from IPv4 have contributed to the development of a more efficient IPv6 header.
DetailsLearning how to write and read IPv6 addresses, and understanding their format, is foundational skill necessary for diving into an IPv6 course. This is what we will discuss in thsi section.
DetailsF5 AWAF parent policy serves as a baseline security template from which individual web application security policies can inherit. This approach ensures consistency across all applications, reduces the administrative overhead associated with creating and updating policies, improves overall security by applying uniform and up-to-date security measures, and enhances scalability in managing application security.
In this section, we will discuss and demonstrate the benefits and implementation of the F5 AWAF parent policy.
This section will cover the logging capabilities of F5 AWAF, including remote logging to capture security events on a remote server, response logging to track web application response traffic, and content events logging, which ensures that application security events are logged in “/var/log/asm”. These logging features are essential for effective security monitoring and incident response.
DetailsF5 AWAF automatic learning and policy building is a feature that identifies legitimate and malicious traffic automatically, using this information to dynamically create and adjust security policies. This is what will discuss and demonstrate in this section.
