Overview

Course Description
This course extends a student’s networking knowledge from SOHO environment into a large scale enterprise level network. The student will learn network design principles and practical skill in designing and building a scalable internetworking enterprise network using Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies. Topics include advanced IP addressing, NAT, PAT, DHCP, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN), and Frame relay configuration. It covers topics on network management, troubleshooting and network optimization. This course also covers Cisco Network Academy CCNA 4 module and a case study.
Course Content

    • Packet switching vs. circuit switching
    • WAN platform (Analog dialup, ISDN, Lease line, X.25, Frame Relay, ATM, DSL, Cable Modem)
    • WAN design consideration
  4. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
    • Serial Point-to-Point Links (TDM, demarcation point, DTE-DCE, HDLC)
    • PPP authentication (architecture, protocol, PAP, challenge handshaking)
    • PPP configuration and troubleshooting
    • ISDN and DDR
    • Basics of ISDN technology (standards, access method, protocol, interface and switch)
    • ISDN configuration and troubleshooting
    • DDR configuration and troubleshooting
  5. Frame Relay
    • Basics of frame relay technology (standard, bandwidth, flow control, reverse ARP, LMI and address mapping)
    • Frame relay configuration and trouble shooting
  6. Scalable Enterprise Network Design and WAN Case Studies

    • Classless and classful routing
    • Distance vector vs. Link-state operation and convergence
    • Extending IP addresses using subnetting, VLSM and route summarization
    • Configuring scalable routing using OSPF protocol
    • Configuring scalable routing using EIGRP protocol
  7. Optimizing Scalable Internetworking
    • Redistribution among multiple routing protocols
    • Configuring redistribution
    • Controlling routing update traffic
    • Policy based routing using route map
