Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices - Part 2 (ICND2)

This course focuses on skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

• Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network.
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
• Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP.
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
• Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers.
• Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements.
