Certifications: CCDP
Delivery Type: Expert Encore

 

Description
Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) 2.1
allows students to gain an understanding of how to design a scalable
internetwork that supports a converged network solution. This course covers a
wide range of topics such as Cisco’s Enterprise Architecture, selecting and
provisioning WAN technologies, and designing a routed infrastructure that is
secure and supports IP telephony. A new addition to the course is a module on
Cisco’s wireless LAN solution. In addition to general approaches and
technologies for network design, the DESGN 2.1 course promotes Cisco solutions
in designing and implementing scalable internetworks.

Skills Taught

This course provides instruction in the use of the following hardware
technologies:

Cisco Catalyst 2940/2960/2970/3750/6500 switches

Cisco ISR-capable routers (for example, Cisco 800/1900/2800/2900/3800/3900
Series routers)

 

Upon completion of the Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) course, the student will be able to:

  • Discuss methodology in network design
  • Describe how to structure and modularize the network design using the Cisco
    Enterprise Architecture
  • Design the Enterprise Campus and Enterprise Data Center modules
  • Design the Remote Connectivity modules as needed
  • Design a network addressing plan and select a suitable routing protocol for a
    given network design
  • Evaluate security solutions for the network
  • Discuss the design implications of voice transport across the network
  • Discuss the design implications of wireless networking

Audience
Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) v2.1 was
developed for networking professionals who want to learn more about Cisco’s
network design principles. This course is the recommended training program for
those individuals seeking the Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA)
certification. CCNA level knowledge and BCMSN level knowledge is needed to
prepare for the CCDA certification exam.

Prerequisites

To benefit fully from this course, the following prerequisite courses,
skills, and knowledge are strongly recommended:

  • A current CCNA certification, or equivalent knowledge and experience,
    including successful completion of CCNA coursework.
  • Familiarity with IP addressing, subnetting and route summarization
  • Familiarity with routing and switching concepts
  • Practical experience with deploying and operating networks based on Cisco
    network devices and Cisco IOS software, as well as functional knowledge of Cisco
    wireless and QoS topics.
  • Successfull completion of the course Building Cisco Multilayer Switched
    Networks
