This course covers the concepts and skills needed to design an intermediate network infrastructure that supports network solutions incorporating intelligent network services to achieve effective performance, scalability and availability. Students will design networks that include Quality of Service (QoS), security, network management, routing protocols optimization, switching structures and IP multicast. Laboratory activities will include case studies to design, develop, install, configure and analyze performance of networks. Students will be encouraged to take an appropriate Cisco professional certification exam upon course completion (i.e., CCDP-ARCH).
