FDDI Institute's Hands-on: Introduction to Cisco Routers

Hands-on: Introduction to Cisco Routers (Part 1)

A four days practical course

Language: English

After completing this course,you can follow the : Advanced CISCO Routing (Part2) Course

DESCRIPTION
This course presents students with the basic concepts and commands required to configure Cisco routers in TCP/IP internetworks.
Through lectures, discussions, exercises, and lab projects, students gain hands-on experience configuring fully operational Cisco routers.
Students learn the issues and demands of routing in heterogeneous environments.
During classroom and lab experiences, students build internetworks with multiple networking and routing protocols and diverse media.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Network administrators and technicians who configure and support multiprotocol internetworks.

PREREQUISITES:
Basic networking vocabulary and concepts.
Understanding TCP/IP
Local-area network administrative and technical experiences are pluspoints.

OUTLINES
