| Selecting Routing and Bridging Protocols for Cisco Networks |
| Course Status: | Released | Courseware Features |
| Course Language: | English | |
| Course Duration: | 3 Hours | |
| Deployment Options: | Online, Interactive CDs, Network, Downloads, Intranet |
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 networks 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 networks (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): Designing Cisco Networks. |
