Course #: 10551a - Cisco Networking Level 2

This program focuses on knowledge and skills required to install, configure and troubleshoot

converged local and wide area networks. Students will gain the knowledge and skills required to manage the routers and switches that form the network core, as well as edge applications that integrate voice, wireless, and security into the network. The curriculum of this program includes either Implementing Cisco IP Routing, or Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks, or Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks.

Students will learn how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment (especially routers such as Cisco ISRs) according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The routed network includes the most commonly used and emerging IP routing protocols.

• Course Introduction to Routing in an Enterprise Networks
• Configuring EIGRP
• Configuring OSPF
• The IS-IS Protocol
• Manipulating Routing Updates
• Implementing BGP
• Implementing Multicast
• Implementing the Basics of IPv6

Students will also learn how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment (especially Catalyst Multilayer Switches) according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model. The campus switched network includes converged IP data, IPC (voice), and Airspace WLAN (Wireless) connectivity.

• Introduction to Campus Networks
• Defining Virtual Networks (VLANs)
• Implementing Spanning Tree
• Implementing InterVLAN Routing
• Implement High Availability in a Campus Environment
• Wireless Client Access
• Minimizing Service Loss and Data Theft in a Campus Network
• Configuring Campus Switches to Support Voice

Additionally, students will be able to secure and expand the reach of their enterprise network to teleworkers and remote sites. Focus is on securing remote access and VPN client configuration.

After completing this training students should be able to:

• Explain the Cisco hierarchical network model as it pertains to the WAN Describe and implement teleworker configuration and access
• Implement and verify frame mode MPLS
• Describe and configure a site-to-site IPSEC VPN
• Describe and configure Cisco EZVPN
• Explain the strategies used to mitigate network attacks
• Describe and configure Cisco device hardening
• Describe and configure IOS firewall features
• Explain the Cisco hierarchical network model as it pertains to an end-to-end enterprise network
• Describe specific requirements for implementing a VOIP network
• Describe the need to implement QoS and the methods for implementing QoS on a converged network using Cisco's routers and Catalyst Switches
• Explain the key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the DiffServ QoS model
• Configure Auto QoS for Enterprise
• Describe and configure wireless security and basic wireless management
