Building Cisco Remote Access Networks

Revision: TE1207_20060318

Course Length:

5 Days

Course Description:

This course introduces techniques and features enabling or enhancing WAN and remote access solutions and focuses on using one or more of the available WAN dialup or permanent connection technologies for remote access between enterprise sites. The course includes asynchronous modem connections, PPP LCP features, cable-modems and DSL with NAT, network security using VPNs with IPSec encryption and IKE keys, ISDN (BRI and PRI), DDR, Frame Relay including sub-interface and traffic shaping, dial backup, QOS using queuing and compression, and finally, AAA.

Who Should Attend:

Network installation and support professionals, communications and services professionals, network professionals and administrators, and CCNPs will benefit from this course.

Benefits of Attendance:

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

• Install physical network devices and build a functional configuration.
• Install modules and upgrades.
• Interconnect network devices.
• Execute an add, move, or change.
• Verify the functionality of the network.
• Verify connectivity to non-Cisco devices.
• Configure Access Lists and manage device configuration.
• Display network operational parameters.
• Verify functionality between devices at the OSI physical layer & utilize a problem-solving model to identify possible causes and solutions.

Prerequisites:
