What is a Bootcamp?

• Two full Cisco courses combined into one 5 day course
• Students receive hands-on training with real equipment
• Students will receive full materials for both courses
• This full experience will cost £1,895 saving £695 on the cost of the courses separately

Prerequisites

None

Benefits of a Bootcamp

• Students spend less time away from the office - saving money, and maintaining productivity BUT they return with the same qualifications
• The Bootcamp costs an average of £695 less than the 2 courses taken separately
• CherryFive hosts the courses in the award-winning Dakota Hotel, between Edinburgh and Glasgow, meaning easy commuting and so less travel and accomodation expenses.
• Students experience the kit hands-on, rather than through virtual labs. They leave the course with experience as well as knowledge.

Course Content

These courses focus on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-sized branch office Enterprise network, including configuring a switches, routers, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. A Student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.

Course Objectives

After completing this course the student should be able to:

1. Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
2. Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues.
3. Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access.
4. Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP.
5. Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing.
6. Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the router¿s startup and configuration.
7. Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network.
8. Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
9. Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
10. Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF.
11. Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP.
12. Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
13. Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers.
14. Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements.
