Description

Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE) v1.0 is an instructor-led training course presented by Cisco training partners to their end customers. This five-day course is designed to help students prepare for Cisco CCNP® certification. The ROUTE course is a component of the CCNP curriculum.

The ROUTE course is designed to provide professionals of medium to large network sites with information on the use of advanced routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. The goal is to train professionals 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. The ROUTE training reinforces the instruction by providing students with hands-on labs to ensure they thoroughly understand how to implement advanced routing within their networks.

Objectives

Upon completing this course, the student will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Plan and document the configuration and verification of routing protocols and their optimization in enterprise networks.
• Identify the technologies, components, and metrics of EIGRP used to implement and verify EIGRP routing in diverse, large-scale internetworks based on requirements.
• Identify, analyze, and match OSPF multiarea routing functions and benefits for routing efficiencies in network operations in order to implement and verify OSPF routing in a complex enterprise network
• Implement and verify a redistribution solution in a multi-protocol network that uses Cisco IOS features to control path selection and provides a loop-free topology according to a given network design and requirements
• Evaluate common network performance issues and identify the tools needed to provide Layer 3 path control that uses Cisco IOS features to control the path
• Implement and verify a Layer 3 solution using BGP to connect an enterprise network to a service provider

Prerequisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course include the following:

• Knowledge and skill level equal to Cisco CCNA® certification.
• Knowledge of and experience with the implementation and verification of enterprise routing and switching technologies as offered by the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) courses or equivalent skills and knowledge. This includes knowledge of and experience with the following technologies:
  • ICND1
    • Describe how networks function, and identify major components, the functions of network components, and the OSI reference model
    • Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues
    • Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN, and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access
    • Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers, and how routed networks transmit data using TCP/IP
    • Describe the function of WANs and the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, and Port Address Translation (PAT) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) routing
    • Use the CLI to discover neighbors on the network and manage router startup and configuration
  • ICND2
    • Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network
    • Expand a small-sized, switched LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and a spanning tree
    • Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network
    • Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF
    • Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP
    • Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network
    • Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network and configure NAT or PAT on routers, explain IPv6 addressing, and configure IPv6 in a Cisco router

  Who Should Attend

  The primary audience for this course is as follows:

  • Network professionals who want to correctly implement routing-based solutions given a network design using Cisco IOS services and features, where implementation of routing includes planning, configuration, and verification.
  • The typical job roles for this type of network professional are network engineers, network operations center (NOC) technical support personnel, and help desk technicians.

  The secondary audience for this course is as follows:

  • Any individual involved in implementation and verification of routing protocols in enterprise networks.
