Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures

This course is intended for individuals seeking the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) Certification and for those individuals aiming for the CCDE (Cisco Certified Design Expert) Certification.

• After you complete this course you will be able to:
• Discuss the Cisco Service Oriented Network Architecture (SONA) framework, and explain how it addresses enterprise network needs for performance, scalability, and availability.
• Describe how the Cisco Enterprise Network model is used in the SONA framework for designing 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 networks management security and IP multicast
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed virtual private network (VPN) designs
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed voice over wireless network (VoWLAN) designs
