in CCNA & CCENT
Although I said I was having a month of I have already started preparing to study for the ICND 2 200-101.
I read that there was some IPv6 in the new CCENT and you are expected to have a good grasp of it for the ICND2.
Has anybody here done the new ICND2? How much reading up on IPv6 should I do before tackling the ICND2?

Do you not have the study materials for the ICND2? It should let you know what to expect on IPv6Modularity and Design Simplicity:
Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it? -

if anything you could always get the new odom book for icnd1 for $27 and the last part is dedicated to just IPv6 they have 5 chapters dedicated to it. -

The IPv6 routing material in Odom's ICND1 book seems light. I reviewed the OSPFv3 section and the main idea was: (1) the operation is rather similar, (2) there are some hidden differences, and (3) you should know a couple key configuration changes. They don't seem to expect you to understand the new LSA types or how the feature set's changed. They do want you to be comfortable turning it on and running show commands you already knew from OSPFv2.
On the other hand, seems like enough addressing material that being unprepared for IPv6 would be unwise!
Odom's ICND1 book or Lammle's ICND1 book are both good options.

Congrats on the pass man! I'm just managing to squeeze in the old ICND2 on the 16th Sep but if I fail I'll be doing the new one. Is there a lot more to learn on the new one? -

Thanks dude!
IPv6 is a lot more in depth than on the old one apparently. I have a had a quick look and it seems to be the caseGoals for 2013 Network+ [x] ICND1 [x] ICND2 [ ]
