Course Description
This course covers the important information required to configure Cisco switches and routers in multiprotocol internetworks. Multi hands-on labs allow you to perform router and switch configurations on a LAN and WAN network. Perform all basic configuration procedures to build a multirouter, multigroup internetwork that uses LAN and WAN interfaces for the most commonly used routing and routed protocols.

You learn to…

• Install and configure Cisco routers and switches in multiprotocol networks
  
• Identify components and functions of the OSI Model
  
• Configure basic operation of Cisco IOS® Software
  
• Configure a router and switch from command line interface
  
• Use system files to learn about neighboring devices
  
• Configure the Catalyst® 1900 switch
  
• Extend switched networks with virtual LANs (VLANs)
  
• Interconnect Networks using TCP/IP
  
• Determine IP routes with RIP and IGRP
  
• Configure IP access lists
  
• Complete an ISDN BRI call
  
• Connect to Frame Relay services
  
• Configure serial connections to WAN service providers

Prerequisites
An understanding of the OSI reference model and a basic working knowledge of bridges and routers are required. Understanding Networking Fundamentals (NET +) or MCSE's Net Essentials provide an excellent foundation.
