COURSE OVERVIEW

Hands-On Real LIVE Practice-Labs allow you to experience practical application of course concepts in authentic environments without purchasing expensive equipment or software. Test drive your new skills as you learn!

The 642-813 Real Practice-Lab gives you access to a real Cisco network including Cisco 2800 series Routers, 3750 and 2950 series Switches and Microsoft Windows devices that enable you to gain hands on skills in Cisco Switching technologies.

By completing the lab tasks you will improve your practical skills in configuring, managing, monitoring, and troubleshooting Cisco Switching technologies, implementing and managing VLANs and VLAN ACLs (VACLs), layer 3 switching technologies, advanced services and high availability. Becoming proficient in these tasks will also help you understand the objectives and competencies required by the Cisco CCNP SWITCH certification exam.

Using the devices in your Real Practice-Lab you will be able to carry out the detailed tasks defined within the lab portal or simply use it as a sandbox environment to implement your own scenarios. One of the key benefits to the Real Practice-Lab service is the ability to test and configure different options in a safe working environment. You are actively encouraged to push the boundaries, if something does go wrong you can simply reset your devices and start again. Learning from your mistakes is a highly valuable exercise in developing your skills.

Using the Real Practice-Lab to its full potential will help you develop your skills in becoming a highly skilled network engineer or help you develop your current skill level in Cisco switching technologies. Once you have used the lab for either 25 / 50 or 100 hours we will acknowledge this achievement by issuing you a certificate. This can be validated by potential employers or managers alike, proving your abilities in Cisco Switching.
