ROUTE - Implementing Cisco IP Routing v1.0

Gain the advanced routing skills you need to provide scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs as part of a medium-to-large network site. You will learn how to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using EIGRP and OSPF techniques, instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or configurations are added. This course includes enhanced hands-on labs to ensure that you thoroughly understand each technique.
