Students perform all basic configuration procedures to build a multirouter, multigroup internetwork that uses LAN and WAN interfaces for the most commonly used routing and routed protocols. Determine in which situations a hub, Ethernet switch, or router would be more appropriately used. Use Cisco software to identify addresses, protocols, and connectivity status in a network containing multiple interconnected Cisco devices. Interconnect Cisco switches and routers according to a given network design specification. Configure Cisco switches and routers to support a specified list of protocols and technologies.
Configure access lists to control access to network devices or segments and general network traffic.
Verify that Cisco switches and routers, as well as their configured network services and protocols, operate as intended within a given network specification. Generally the student should have a basic understanding of networking concepts and an exposure to IP or IPX networking. Experience working within a networked environment is recommended. Your Network Environment Interconnecting Cisco Switches Discusses switch fundamentals in a networked environment. Switch Functionality Interconnecting Cisco Routers Focuses on routed and routing protocols supported by Cisco IOS software.
