DESGN - Designing Cisco Internetwork Solutions

Summary

This course focuses on general approaches and technologies for network design as well as promotes Cisco solutions in designing and implementing scalable internetworks. Among specific goals is the promotion of the new modular approach to network design that has been intuitively used for the last few years and that Cisco now wants to formalize. The new Enterprise Composite Model facilitates planning, designing, implementing, operating, and troubleshooting (PDIOT) networks by concentration on a certain module and on relations between the modules. Taking into account that most network solutions today (e.g. voice, video, storage networking, content networking) are typically overlay solutions spanning several modules, the composite modular approach seems even more relevant and is the main focus of this course. Prerequisites for the course are ICND1 and ICND2 or CCNA Boot Camp; BCMSN is also highly recommended. This course is for anyone designing a small to medium size network or anyone designing solutions for the IP network.
