ICND2 - Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part II

Summary

This course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security.  This course is intended for network technicians, network administrators, and technical support personnel.  Course ICND1 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 is strongly recommended as a prerequisite.  However, with a reasonable understanding of networking and experience in the IT world, a student could successfully go directly to Course ICND2 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part II with extra effort.

A CCNA Boot Camp CCNA Boot Camp Version 2.0 is also available, combining Courses Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part II  
 
Prerequisites
 
ICND1 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 or equivalent work experience.
 
 
Audience
 
Network technicians, network administrators, technical support personnel, anyone pursuing CCNA Certification.
 
 
Skills taught

Upon completing this course, you will be able to:
• Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking and spanning tree
• Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network
• Configure, verify and troubleshoot OSPF
• Configure, verify and troubleshoot EIGRP
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements and to configure, verify and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network
• Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network and configure NAT or PAT on routers
• Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements
