Introduction
Chapter 1 Overall Course Objcectives
Design a network that meets a customer’s requirements for performance,security,
capacity,and scalability
Assemble Cisco product lines into an end-to-end networking solution
Additional Networking Information
Chapter 2 Small-to Medium-Sized Business Solutions Framework
Upon completion of this introduction,you will be able to describe a framework you
can use to simplify the complexities associated with analyzing customer network
problems and creating Cisco scalable solutions
Chapter 3 Identify Customer Needs-Characterize the Existing Network
Identify all the data you should gather to characterize the customer’s existing
network Document the customer’s current applications,protocols,topology,and
number of users Document the customer’s business issues that are relevant to a
network design profectAssess teh health of the custoemer’s existing network and
make conclusions about the network’s ability to support growth Determine the
customer’s requirements for new applications,protocols,number of users,peak
usage hours,security,and network management Diagram the flow of information for
mew applications Isolate the customer’s criteria for accepting the performance
of a network List some tools that will help you characterize new network traffic
Predict the amount of traffic and the type of traffic caused by the applications,
given charts that characterize typical network traffic
Chapter 4 Design the Network Structure
Describe the advantages,disadvantages,scalability issues,and applicability of
standard internetwork topologies
Draw a topology map that meets the customer’s needs and includes a high-level view
of internetworking devices and interconnecting media
Recognize scalability constraints and issues for standard LAN technologies
Recommend Cisco products and LAN technologies that will meet a customer’s
repuirements for performance,capacity,and scalability in small-to-medium-size
networks
Update the network topology drawing you created in the previous section to include
hardware and media Recognize scalability constraints and issues for standard WAN
technologies
Recognize scalability constraints and preformance budgets for major cisco products
Recommend Cisco Products and WAN technologies that will meet the customer’s
requirements for performance,capacity,and scalability in an enterprise network
Propose an addressing model for the customer’s areas,networks,subnetworks,
and end stations that meet scalability requirements
Propose a naming scheme for servers,routers,and user stations
Identify scalability constraints and issues for IGRP,Enhanced IGRP,IP RIP,IPX
RIP/SAP,NLSP,AppleTalk RTMP,and AURP,static routing,and bridging protocols
Recommend routing and bridging Protocols that meet a customer’s requirements for
performance,security,and capacity
Recognize scalability issues for various Cisco IOS software features such as
access lists,proxy services,encryption,compression,and queuing
Recommend Cisco IOS software features that meet a customer’s requirements for
performance,security,capacity,and scalability
Chapter 5 Build a Prototype or Pilot for the Network Structure
Determine how much of the network structure must be built to prove that the network
design meets the customer’s needs
List the tasks required to build a prototype or pilot that demonstrates the
functionality of the network design
List the Cisco IOS software commands you should use to determine if a network
structure meets teh customer’s performance and scalability goals
Describe how to demonstrate the prototype or pilot to the customer so that the
customer understands that the proposed design meets requirements for performance,
security,capacity,and scalability,and that the costs and risks are acceptable
