5 Days
Course Description:
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) v1.0 is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco training partners to their end-user customers. This five-day course focuses on using Cisco Catalyst switches and Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium-sized network sites. The course helps to provide the 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
Who Should Attend:
The primary audience for this course include Network Administrators, Network Engineers, Network Managers, and Systems Engineers. The secondary audience for this course includes Network Designers and Project Managers.
Benefits of Attendance:
Upon 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
Prerequisites:
The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course include skills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) and the ability to install, configure, and troubleshoot a small network.
