ICND 1 (640-822)

This course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network, including configuring a switch, a router, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. A Student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
• Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues.
• Describes the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access.
• Describes the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP.
• Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing.
• Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the routers startup and configuration .

CCNA® Certification Bootcamp 640-802

The CCNA certification indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists. Includes labs and instruction. Call for pricing.

CCNP® Certification Bootcamp

The CCNP certification indicates advanced or journeyman knowledge of networks. With a CCNP, a network professional can install, configure, and troubleshoot local and wide area networks for enterprise organizations with networks from 100 to more than 500 nodes. The content emphasizes topics such as security, converged networks, quality of service (QoS), virtual private networks (VPN) and broadband technologies. The CCNP Certification is comprised of the information in four classes: BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW, and ONT. Includes labs and instruction. Call for pricing.

Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) (642-901)

The BSCI 2.1 course is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a CCNP. BSCI 2.1 instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs.The goal is to train network administrators to grow a dramatically increased number of routers/sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added The course contains seven modules and 16 main lab exercises. Call for pricing.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe advanced IP addressing to include variable-length subnet mask, route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), basic IP version 6, and using Network Address Translation (NAT) with route maps
• Identify advanced IP routing principles, including static and dynamic routing characteristics and the concepts of classless routing and network boundary summarization
• Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for a scalable network
• Configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for a scalable multiarea network
• Configure Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for a scalable multiarea network
• Manipulate routing updates and packet flow using redistribution, distribution lists, administrative distance, route maps, and policy-based routing
• Configure basic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for internal and external Border Gateway Protocol connections

Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) (642-812)

Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) v2.1 is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as CCNP. This course enables learners to use appropriate technologies to build scalable multilayer switched networks, to create and deploy a global intranet, and to implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This course also enables learners to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via a service provider. The purpose of this course is to enable a learner to achieve a mid-career professional-level competency.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Deploy the required Cisco products and services that enable connectivity and traffic transport, given a network design that includes multilayer switching over various Ethernet technologies.
• Implement the necessary services at each layer of the network to all users to obtain services in a working multilayer switched network.
• Control network traffic by implementing network policies, given, a working multilayer switched network.
• Restore proper network operations through the use of Cisco devices and external management tools, when presented with an incorrectly working multilayer switched network.
• Explain how service providers implement transparent LAN services and Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology to deliver connectivity to the enterprise site.

40 hours — includes labs and instruction. Call for Pricing.
