Cisco SWITCH 1.0: Analyzing Campus Network Designs

Overview/Description
Over the last 50 years, businesses have achieved improving levels of productivity and competitive advantages through the use of communication and computing technology. Over the past 20 years the enterprise campus network has evolved, becoming a key element in this business computing and communication infrastructure. The increasing complexity of business and network requirements creates an environment where a fixed model no longer completely describes the set of capabilities and services that constitute the campus network today. The Cisco Life-cycle Services model uses a structural approach which is key to ensuring that the network always meets the requirements of the end users. This course covers the tools required to understand how campus networks can be built, what models can be used, which practices should be avoided, and which principles should guide you to ensure a successful implementation. The Cisco Life-cycle Services approach and its impact on network implementation are also detailed.

Target Audience
Established IT professionals with a good understanding of networking and Cisco technology, good computer literacy and a solid technical acumen.

Prerequisites
