The Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 2 (ICND2) v3.0 course provides network administrators with the knowledge and skills needed to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot a small enterprise network. Key additions to this latest revision include; understanding of Quality of Service (QoS) elements and their applicability, how virtualized and cloud services will interact and impact enterprise networks, along with an overview of network programmability and the related controller types and tools that are available to support software defined network architectures.

A full suite of labs have been developed using the virtual IOS environment with flexible topologies that reinforce concepts with hands-on, guided discovery and challenge labs that align to each lesson module.

 Prerequisites

Before taking the ICND2 course, learners should be familiar with:

• Understanding network fundamentals
• Implementing local area networks
• Implementing Internet connectivity
• Managing network devices
• Securing network devices
