Course description: Designing Cisco Network Services Architectures (ARCH)

Given enterprise business and technical requirements and constraints, the student will learn how to perform the conceptual and intermediate design of a network infrastructure that supports the desired network solutions over intelligent network services, to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability.The student will learn the fundamental aspects of the network design addressing QoS, Security, Network Management, fine-tuning Routing Protocols, Switching Structures and IP Multicast. In addition, the student will leave with Solution Models for solutions and aspects of the network that are strategic to today's Cisco's Customers: Voice over IP and IP Telephony, Content and Storage Networking, Wireless Networking.
