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.
• Given a converged network, explain the need to implement Quality of Service (QoS) and explain methods for implementing and managing QoS.
• Given a converged network, identify and describe different models used for ensuring QoS in a network and explain key IP QoS mechanisms used to implement the models.
• Given a congested network, use Cisco QoS queuing mechanisms to manage network congestion.
• Given a network, use Cisco QoS traffic policing and traffic shaping mechanisms to effectively limit the rate of network traffic.
• Given a low speed WAN link, successfully use Cisco link efficiency mechanisms to improve the bandwidth efficiency of the link.
• Given a description of a service provider network or an enterprise network, correctly select the most appropriate QoS mechanisms for providing QoS using Cisco's best practices.
• Service providers (and enterprises acting as service providers) are faced with many challenges in terms of customer demand, including an ongoing need for value-added services. Conventional IP packet forwarding has several limitations, and more and more service providers realize that something else is needed. Not only must service providers be concerned with protecting their existing infrastructure, but they must also find ways to generate new services that are not currently supportable using existing technologies.
