Duration

5 Days
   
Course Abstract
Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting course will show you how to develop a troubleshooting method for network support. Expert Stephen Dudgeon provides a brief overview of the various popular network technologies then shows you how to identify potential targets for troubleshooting network problems. This course provides examples of troubleshooting some common network problems, which will help you identify and list items for documenting a troubleshooting process. At the conclusion of this course, you will understand CIT, have additional resources for supplementing technical knowledge, and be prepared to pass exam 642-831.
Objectives

After completing this course the student should be able to:

  • Understand the principles of classful and classless routing and the difference between link-state and distance vector protocol behavior
  • Select and configure the appropriate services for simplifying IP address management at branch offices by proper address allocation and summarization
  • Implement the appropriate technologies for a scalable, routed network that uses link-state protocols and redistribution
  • Configure edge routers to properly interconnect to a BGP network through either a single or multihomed interconnection
  • Control and optimize routing update information by implementing filters, metrics, and policy-based routing and changing administrative distance
  • Examine case studies that show you how to build a scalable internetwork including multiple routing protocols
