Audience

System engineers and network designers who have a knowledge of internetworking and Cisco products

Prerequisites

The Cisco IOS 11.3: ICRC curriculum; all preceding courses in the Cisco: Designing Cisco Networks curriculum

Course Aim

To give the student an understanding of how to develop internetwork topologies, of the main considerations when choosing a router platform, and of Cisco design implementations for ISDN, PIX Firewall, and Windows NT

Learning Objectives

Describe the hierarchical network design model and the characteristics of each of its three layers. Explain the difference between redundant and secure design and the need for including different types of redundancy in a network design. Discuss the concept of a firewall and the benefits of the Cisco PIX Firewall. Provide an overview of router performance considerations. Identify some of the characteristics and limitations of Ethernet, Token Ring, and FDDI as network media. Evaluate how frame size affects your choice of routing platform and identify pps values for a typical network. Outline some of the design considerations specific to low-end and mid-range routers and how to optimize network performance. Describe ISDN devices, ISDN circuitry, and how ISDN connections can be routed. Contrast ISDN and analog lines. Explain some concepts peculiar to Windows Networking and how to use Windows Networking effectively.
