Overview
This 5 day course is designed to provide professionals working with medium to large networks with the skills and knowledge required to incorporate advanced routing concepts when implementing scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. Delegates will be able to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.
Pre-Requisites
Attendees should meet the following prerequisites:
- ICND1 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1
- ICND2 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2
Or
- CCNABC Cisco CCNA Certification Fast Track Programme
Practical experience in installing, operating and maintaining Cisco routers & switches in an enterprise environment is recommended.
