Introduction to Cisco Network Devices Part 2

Course details

This course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.

A student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small to medium sized branch office network under supervision.

Recommended as preparation for exam(s):

• 640-816 ICND2
• 640-802 CCNA – This is a composite exam consisting of both ICND1 & ICND2

IS IT Right FOR ME?

This course is intended for System Engineers who will install, operate and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network.

What will I learn?

At the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

• Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking and spanning tree
• Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network
• Configure, verify and troubleshoot OSPF • Configure, verify and troubleshoot EIGRP
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network
• Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers
• Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements.
