ROUTING AND SWITCHING

CCNA Routing & Switching course is the ultimate training program for engineers pursuing the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. Cisco has announced an extensive revamp of its CCNA certification. This course is based on a topology featuring updated Cisco equipment and IOS, including ISR routers. Coverage of troubleshooting has been extended beyond installation to everyday operations, coverage of security has been enhanced, and an introduction to wireless concepts and terminology has also been included. This course offers more compelling lab exercises and includes more time for hands-on practice and labs

Overview

In this course, you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network. You will focus on configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a wide-area network (WAN), configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding WAN technologies, and getting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing.

Intended Audience

This training course is primarily intended to help candidates achieve their CCNA certification. If you are just beginning your journey as a network engineer, this CCNA training would get you into the world of Cisco networking and let you pass the valuable CCNA certification. This training course will also benefit students looking to obtain the entry-level CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technical) certification, which is covered as a part of the complete CCNA curriculum.

Netmetric Solutions CCNP course is the ultimate training program for engineers pursuing the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification. This course would help you to prepare you for the latest ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT exams. Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) validates the ability to plan, implement, verify and troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks and work collaboratively with specialists on advanced security, voice, wireless and video solutions. The CCNP certification is appropriate for those with at least one year of networking experience who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions. Those who achieve CCNP have demonstrated the skills required in enterprise roles such as network technician, support engineer, systems engineer or network engineer.

Course Objectives

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Develop a comprehensive network security policy to counter threats against information security.
• Configure routers on the network perimeter with Cisco IOS Software security features.
• Configure a Cisco IOS zone-based firewall to perform basic security operations on a network.
• Configure site-to-site VPNs using Cisco IOS features.
• Configure IPS on Cisco network routers.
• Configure LAN devices to control access, resist attacks, shield other network devices and systems, and protect the integrity and confidentiality of network traffic.

Routing & Switching is the most popular CCIE track. Certification in R&S indicates expert level knowledge of networking across various LAN and WAN interfaces and a variety of routers and switches. Experts in R&S can solve complex connectivity problems and apply technology solutions to increase bandwidth, improve response times, maximize performance, improve security and support global applications.

Overview

The Netmetric Solutions CCIE R&S Bootcamp consists of a set of practice exercises covering all protocols tested in the CCIE lab exam. They are aimed at engineers preparing for the CCIE lab exam who already understand the theory of the protocols being tested

CCIE Exam

The CCIE Routing and Switching Lab Exam version 5.0 is an eight-hour, hands-on exam which requires you to configure and troubleshoot a series of complex networks to given specifications. Knowledge of troubleshooting is an important skill and candidates are expected to diagnose and solve issues as part of the CCIE lab exam. You will not configure end-user systems, but are responsible for all devices residing in the network.

There are now three lab modules and the sequence is as follows:

• Troubleshooting module
• Diagnostic module
• Configuration module

Format: Hands-on Lab

Prerequisite Knowledge

• CCNP certification or equivalent knowledge
• Passing of CCIE R&S Written exam is optional but recommended

The course is frequently reviewed to ensure that it is up to date and meets the latest topics tested on the CCIE R&S Lab exam blueprint.

Description

The Routing and Switching CCIE certification boot camp is a ten-day intense class designed for people who are actively seeking their CCIE certification. This boot camp uses a combination of lecture and hands-on laboratory exercises to teach participants how to design, deploy, and maintain a large network. It is focused on the operational design and scaling principles of routing protocols used in large-scale networks. The premise of the boot camp is to provide adequate hands-on practice with techniques used in implementing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, Multicasting and QOS to mention a few, in a large network so that students learn the techniques and can use them in their production network.
