The ROUTE course will be made available at the end of February, 2010. Students may register for this class in advance through authorized Cisco Learning Partners.

Course Content

Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) v1.0 is an instructor-led training course presented by Cisco training partners to their end customers. This five-day course and 7.5 hours of self-paced e-learning is designed to help students prepare for Cisco CCNP® certification. The ROUTE course is a component of the CCNP curriculum.

The ROUTE course is designed for network engineers with at least one year of professional work experience, who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions. Students will learn to plan, configure and verify the implementation of secure enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions using a range of routing protocols. Course also covers configuration of solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers.

Course Objectives

Upon completing this course, the student will be able to meet these overall objectives:

  • Plan and document the configuration and verification of routing protocols and their optimization in enterprise networks.
  • Identify the technologies, components, and metrics of EIGRP used to implement and verify EIGRP routing in diverse, large-scale internetworks based on requirements.
  • Identify, analyze, and match OSPF multiarea routing functions and benefits for routing efficiencies in network operations in order to implement and verify OSPF routing in a complex enterprise network.
  • Implement and verify a redistribution solution in a multi-protocol network that uses Cisco IOS features to control path selection and provides a loop-free topology according to a given network design and requirements.
  • Evaluate common network performance issues and identify the tools needed to provide Layer 3 path control that uses Cisco IOS features to control the path.
  • Implement and verify a Layer 3 solution using BGP to connect an enterprise network to a service provider.

Prerequisites

Before taking the ARCH v2.1 course, learners should be familiar with internetworking technologies, Cisco products, and Cisco IOS features.

To gain the prerequisite skills and knowledge, Cisco strongly recommends knowledge of Cisco CCNA®, Cisco CCDA, Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE), and Implementing Cisco Switched Networks (SWITCH).

Course Content

The Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) v2.1 course is a five-day instructor-led course. The aim of the course is to enable learners to perform the conceptual, intermediate, and detailed design of a network infrastructure that supports desired network solutions over intelligent network services, in order to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. This course enables learners, by applying solid Cisco network solution models and recommended design practices, to provide viable, stable enterprise internetworking solutions. The course presents concepts and examples that are necessary to design converged enterprise networks. Advanced network infrastructure technologies, such as virtual private networks (VPNs) and other security solutions, are also covered.

Course Objectives

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

  • Introduce the Cisco Network Architectures for the Enterprise and explain how this concept addresses enterprise network needs for performance, scalability, and availability.
  • Describe how the Cisco Network Architectures for the Enterprise can be used as a framework for designing enterprise networks.
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise campus network designs.
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise data center designs.
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise edge and remote infrastructure designs.
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed network service designs for security considerations.
  • Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed VPN designs.
