This powerful Hands-On course will cover the essentials in successfully Implementing and supporting Cisco routersswitches in your organization's environment. A practical approach will be accomplished by building, adding, modifying, and troubleshooting a Cisco router network in class. Additional components such as switches, hubs, TFTP, servers will be added to build a realistic network. Debug commands and protocol analyzers will be utilized. The instructor will introduce configuration and hardware faults into the network to test the students newly acquired knowledge. This class is designed to be light on theory and heavy on practical application. More than half of class time will be spent performing Hands-On labs.
To be successful in this technology, Hands-On Experience is a MUST! We have many students that come back through this specific course even after passing their Certification exam to get more Hands-On practical experience by having this complex routing simplified. This course will provides 'Hands-On' Real-World experience by having students Configure, Implement and Debug over a LIVE in-class Cisco Router network.
This is not a CCNA Exam focused course, this course is geared for to give attendees a practical Hands-On experience using Cisco RoutersSwitches.
