Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) — A 5-day course

 Open Public Course Closed In-House Course

Synopsis

The 5-day DESGN training course will enable you to understand internetworking requirements, identify solutions, and design the network infrastructure and services to ensure the basic functionality of the proposed solutions.

This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to achieve associate level competency in network design.

Course Objectives:

By completing the course, the learners should be able to:

• Discuss methodology in network design
• Describe how to structure and modularize the network design using the Cisco Enterprise Architecture
• Design the enterprise campus and enterprise data center modules
• Design the enterprise edge and remote modules as needed
• Evaluate security solutions for the network
• Recommend a design for basic voice transport across the network
• Recommend a design for a basic wireless solution
• Design a network addressing plan and select suitable routing protocols for a given network design

Intended Audience

• Individuals seeking the Cisco Certified Design Associate (CCDA) certification
• Individuals targeting towards the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) certification.
• The course is also targeted at pre-sales and post-sales network engineers involved in the network design, planning and implementation.
