Certifications:CCDP
Delivery Type:Expert Encore

Description
With the introduction of voice, video, and mission critical data into the enterprise network, Cisco networking has become more complex today than ever before. To respond to this challenge, network designers must constantly update their skills and awareness of new and emerging Cisco technologies. This critical course in Cisco network design teaches students to perform the conceptual and intermediate design of a network infrastructure given enterprise business and technical requirements and constraints. The learner’s infrastructure design should support the desired network solutions over intelligent network services and should achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. The student will learn the fundamental aspects of network design addressing, quality of service, security, network management, fine-tuning routing protocols, switching structures, and IP multicast. In addition, this course provides solution models for aspects of the network that are strategic to today’s customers, including IP telephony, content and storage networking, and wireless networking.

Skills Taught
Upon completion of the Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) course, the student will be able to:

  • Present the Cisco AVVID framework, its segmentation of the network infrastructure, and intelligent network services to support key enterprise network applications and network solutions
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise campus network and Enterprise Edge infrastructure designs that offer effective functionality, performance, scalability, and availability
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed intelligent network service designs for network management, high availability, security, QoS, and IP multicast
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed virtual private network designs
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed wireless network designs
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed IP telephony designs

Audience
This course should be considered by any System Engineers or users of Cisco equipment responsible for designing network solutions. It is also critical to any individual interested in Cisco Career Certifications – especially those interested in the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) certification.
