Designing Cisco Network Service Architecture

Introduction

Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) v2.1 is a five-day instructor-led course. The aim of the course is to enable students to perform the conceptual, intermediate, and detailed design of a network infrastructure that supports desired network solutions over intelligent network services, in order to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. By applying solid Cisco network solution models and recommended design practices, students can provide viable, stable enterprise internetworking solutions. The course presents concepts and examples that are necessary to design converged enterprise networks.

The course builds on the Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) course. Students will learn additional aspects of modular campus design, advanced addressing and routing designs, WAN service designs, enterprise data center, and security designs.

Course Objectives

• Introduce the Cisco Network Architectures for the Enterprise, and explain how it addresses enterprise network needs for performance, scalability, and availability
• Describe how the Cisco Network Architectures for the Enterprise influences the design of enterprise networks
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise campus network and enterprise edge and remote infrastructure designs that offer effective functionality, performance, scalability, and availability
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed intelligent network service designs for network management, high availability, security, QoS, and IP multicast
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed VPN designs

Target Audience

• Channel Partner/Reseller
• Customers
• System Engineers
• Account Managers
