Configuring Cisco® Routers: Advanced Hands-On Workshop

Course: 481   Type: Hands-On   Duration: 5 Days
Quick Enrol  

You Will Learn How To

  • Optimise Cisco router configuration for large and complex IP internetworks
  • Manage IP information flows with Cisco routers
  • Deploy scalable routing protocols: EIGRP, OSPF and BGP
  • Minimise core routing tables with route summarisation
  • Map between private and public addresses with Network Address Translation (NAT)
  • Strengthen network security with Cisco access lists

Course Benefits
Cisco routers are a central component of many complex internetworks. In this course, you gain the knowledge and skills required to master the advanced features of Cisco router configuration.

Who Should Attend
Network managers, engineers, technicians, designers and consultants who are involved in designing and implementing internetworks with Cisco routers. Knowledge of router configuration at the level of Course 466, "Cisco Networking Introduction", is assumed.

Hands-on Training
Throughout this course, extensive hands-on exercises provide you with practical experience configuring Cisco routers. Exercises include:
  • Configuring VLSM and route summarisation with EIGRP
  • Summarising address spaces
  • Redistributing RIP into EIGRP and OSPF
  • Redistributing routing information between different routing protocols
  • Deploying NAT
  • Transitioning to OSPF
  • Minimising core routing tables with OSPF stub areas
  • Securing an IP intranet with traffic and session filtering
  • Connecting to other networks using BGP
  • Applying quality of service (QoS) techniques to optimise multiservice IP traffic flows
