CCNP - ROUTE -Implementing Cisco IP Routing v1.0

ROUTE - Implementing Cisco IP Routing v1.0

Cisco Course v1.0 | Prepares you for Cisco Exam 642-902.

In this course, administrators of medium-to-large network sites will learn to use advanced routing to provide scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. Networking professionals will learn to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added. Hands-on labs ensure you thoroughly understand how to implement advanced routing within your network.

What you will receive in your Spel package:

This package includes recorded lab demonstrations, allowing you to get exposure to and comprehension of the details of each lab, access to Self Test Software's exam prep products and one FREE exam voucher.

What You'll Learn:
