This course introduces the concepts and requirements of designing reliable high-speed networks featuring Cisco products. Work in teams to design and present efficient internetworks. Crucial design topics such as routing protocol selection, network scalability and WAN choices will be covered.
It is estimated that over 80% of Internetwork costs are in the WAN. The biggest cost outside the WAN is found in support. This course shows you how to maximize your utilization of these costly areas by designing your internetworks right the first time.
You Will Learn...
 | Compression and Filtering to Optimize WAN Usage
| Which Protocols Might Generate Problems for Other Protocols
| To Design Networks That Scale
| To Evaluate Potential Traffic Problems
| Time-Critical Protocols and Applications that Affect Your Design
| Dynamic Routing
| Load Balancing Across the WAN to Increase Availability and
Optimize Bandwidth Utilization | |
Who Should Attend...
This course is for professionals responsible for designing,
implementing and maintaining multiprotocol networks. Recommended for
people pursuing Cisco Certification.
Prerequisites...
Broad theoretical and hands-on experience with multiprotocol
internetworks is recommended. Experience with Cisco equipment is
required. As a minimum, Interconnecting Cisco
Network Devices or Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration are
required as well as the Building Scalable Cisco
Networks course.

By gathering the combined expertise of several recognized network designers, Global Knowledge has created a fictional company that incorporates many real-world network design challenges. In our case studies you will be a member of a team that is responsible for designing and restructuring the company’s network while focusing on real world issues such as cost, security, and scalability for future growth plans.
Case Study 1: Campus LAN Design - The Three Layer Model
Work as a team to assess the company’s network. Identify the three layers of the network. Formulate ideas and strategies for areas of improvement. Analyze ways to optimize use of existing hardware.
Case Study 2: Campus LAN Design
Analyze the network and develop a Campus LAN solution. Address realistic issues such as LAN Segmentation, VLANs, Route Switch Modules, Layer Three Switching, Wiring, and WAN Access.
Case Study 3: Campus LAN Design and IP Address Administration
Assimilate several remote offices and sales offices into your new Campus LAN solution. Develop a new IP addressing policy that can be implemented across the entire network. Identify equipment requirements to implement these solutions.
Case Study 4: OSPF Design
Create an OSPF design with multiple areas for the network. Focus on area layout and Address Summarization. Explore potential pitfalls and methods to handle these issues.
Case Study 5: TCP/IP, Novell, AppleTalk, Windows, and DECNET
Assess the network and develop long and short-term strategies for working with TCP/IP, Novell, AppleTalk, Windows, and DECNET.
Case Study 6: WAN Design
Create a new WAN design building upon the new Campus LAN designs from previous labs. Identify new requirements and assess needs of the WAN while simultaneously focusing on controlling costs.
Case Study 7: Bank Acquisition
The company has acquired a bank that is looking at a major network redesign. Determine the best methods for completing the network while considering the future plans to assimilate it into your network.
