Description

Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) v2.0 is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco Systems, Inc. training partners. This five-day course will enable learners to gather customer internetworking requirements, identify solutions, and design the network infrastructure and elements to ensure the basic functionality of the proposed solutions. The purpose of this course is to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to achieve associate-level competency in network design. The DESGN course is the first course in a design curriculum that supports the design certification track. The course focuses on the technology and methods currently available.

Objectives

After completing this course the student should be able to:

• Discuss methodology in network design
• Describe how to structure and modularize the network design using the Cisco Enterprise Architecture
• Design the Enterprise Campus and Enterprise Data Center modules.
• Design the Remote Connectivity modules as needed.
• Design a network addressing plan and select a suitable routing protocol for a given network design.
• Evaluate security solutions for the network.
• Discuss the design implications of voice transport across the network.
• Discuss the design implications of wireless networking.

Prerequisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
