 Open Public Course Closed In-House Course

Synopsis

Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) v2.0 is a five-day course designed to help learners prepare for Cisco CCNP certification. The ROUTE course is a component of the CCNP curriculum.

This ROUTE course is designed to provide professionals of medium-to-large network sites with information on the use of advanced routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs.

The goal is to train professionals to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.

The ROUTE training reinforces the instruction by providing learners with hands-on labs to ensure they thoroughly understand how to implement advanced routing within their networks
