Provisioning LAN Hardware and Media for Cisco Networks

Course Status:	Released	Courseware Features
Course Language:	English
Course Duration:	3 Hours
Deployment Options:	Online, Interactive CDs, Network,

Audience

Network engineers, network system analysts, and maintenance personnel responsible for designing small to medium-sized networks; anyone working toward the Cisco Certified Design Associate qualification

Prerequisites

The Cisco: Internetworking Technologies Multimedia (ITM) learning path or the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) and CCNA Basics learning paths; a good foundation in the principles and concepts of etworks and computers; familiarity with internetworking technologies

Course Aim

This learning path is an online, self-guided version of Cisco's instructor-led course. This learning path aims to provide networking professionals with the skills needed to design world-class small to medium-sized etworks (fewer than 500 nodes). DCN takes a step-by-step approach toward designing an internetwork that meets customers' needs for functionality, performance, scalability, and security. This learning path fully prepares students for the Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA) exam, 640-441: Designing Cisco Networks.

Learning Objectives

To describe scalability constraints and other issues for standard LAN technologies

Topics Covered

Layer services and managing network traffic Layer 2 and layer 3 network services etwork traffic domains and segmentation Selecting Cisco switches Provisioning Cisco switches Designing LANs for scalability Ethernet design rules Scaling Ethernet networks and cabling etwork scalability constraints and cable delays LAN scalability and traffic management Q&A LAN provisioning for a healthcare network LAN provisioning for a dispersed network LAN provisioning for an integrated network LAN provisioning for an internetwork
