Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will learn the conceptual, intermediate, and detailed design of a network infrastructure that supports desired network solutions over intelligent network services, in order to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. You will learn how to apply Cisco network solution models and recommended design practices, to provide viable and stable enterprise internetworking solutions.
You will learn the concepts that are necessary to design converged enterprise networks. You will also cover enterprise campus, data center, e-commerce, IP addressing and routing, security solutions, VPNs, IP multicast, and security.
Note: You should expect one to three hours of homework each evening, which will be reviewed each morning.
