Implementing Cisco MPLS V3.0

COURSE OUTLINE:

Description This course is designed to introduce you to MPLS concepts, installation, migration, operation, inspection, and troubleshooting. You'll start with an overview of MPLS and its operation, after which you'll concentrate on MPLS Virtual Private Network (VPN) deployment. The MPLS fundamentals covered in this class will provide the theory and hands-on knowledge to implement, integrate, and deploy an MPLS infrastructure. The MPLS VPN lecture and labs will cover the models, diversity, implementation, troubleshooting, and flexibility of MPLS VPNs.

CIERS1 – Cisco 360 CCIE R&S Advanced Workshop 1 – 5.0

This intensive boot camp-style course is designed to help CCIE Routing &Switching candidates determine exactly where they are in their process ofpreparing for the CCIE R&S v5.0 practical exam and to fill technology gapsthrough lecture and labs.

The class is approximately 60% lecture and 40% hands-on labs, with extendedhours of up to 13 hours per day. Upon completion of the technology lecture thatincludes best practices for applying and troubleshooting the technology, youwill complete labs based on that technology. At the end of the class, you willperform two graded CCIE-level practice labs: a troubleshooting lab and aconfiguration lab.

Additionally, you will learn how to develop study plans and how to developand use checklists and decision diagrams to formulate the mindset needed to passthe CCIE lab. With this information stored in your online portal, you can reviewthe material covered in the CIERS1 class as frequently as you wish.

The Cisco 360 program has exclusive rights to run all labs on top of IOS over Linux (IOL). These are the same servers, same look and feel as the actual lab.

Note: To participate in this course and access your Cisco 360 portal andremote labs, it is highly recommended that you bring the laptop associated withyour Cisco 360 Learning Program for CCIE account.

CCNAX v3.0 – CCNA Routing and Switching Boot Camp

The CCNA Routing and Switching Boot Camp is a composite course derived from ICND1 and ICND2 content merged into a single accelerated course. Overlapping content is eliminated and some content is rearranged for the purpose of course flow.

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

Key additions to this latest revision include an understanding of Quality of Service (QoS) elements and their applicability, how virtualized and cloud services will interact and impact enterprise networks, and an overview of network programmability with the related controller types and tools that are available to support software defined network architectures.

You will learn about the interactions and network functions of firewalls, wireless controllers and access points, along with additional focus on IPv6 and basic network security

A full suite of labs have been developed using the virtual IOS environment with flexible topologies that reinforce concepts with hands-on, guided discovery and challenge labs that align to each lesson module.

This course will enable you to:

Prepare for the CCNA Routing and Switching certification
Operate a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree
Interactions and network functions of firewalls, wireless controllers and access points
Develop core routing and switching networking skills to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot Cisco networks for increased effectiveness and optimal performance within SMB and Enterprise settings
how device management can be implemented using the traditional and intelligent ways
QoS, virtualization and cloud services, and network programmability related to WAN, access and core segments
Support Cisco network deployments and maintain these services in an on-going operational network.

Course exclusives:

This is an intensive, extended-hours boot camp. Participants should expect to be in class for 12 hours on each of the five days.
To help with your success, you will receive a free CCNA (200-125 CCNAX) voucher.
Lab time:

ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-120 hours total over 180 days for CCNAX.
ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-Labs are one to one and on Virtual Machines.
