Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, you will be able to meet these objectives:
- Describe the Cisco IP NGN architecture
- Expand a small, switched LAN to a medium-size LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and STP
- Describe routing concepts as they apply to a P-network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network
- Implement internal and external routing protocols: OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP
- Describe and implement basic MPLS
- Determine how to apply ACLs that are based on network requirements, and implement ACLs on a P-network
- Describe when to use NAT and implement NAT on Cisco routers
- Describe basic IPv6 concepts and use different configuration scenarios to implement IPv6
- Describe the fundamentals of Cisco IOS XR technology
