Wireless, VOIP and Advanced Networking Troubleshooting

Catalog description

This course will present applied evolving and emerging topics in networking. The course’s main focal points will be Cisco “advanced technologies” which include the lastest wireless standards and the most current Cisco collaboration architectures (e.g. VOIP) and advanced troubleshooting contained in the Cisco Certified Network curriculum. These components are presented with an integrated approach citing their interdependence using the Enterprise Composite Network Model concepts. The course’s troubleshooting component will provide students with applied experience in correcting errors from a fully deployed enterprise network and allow them to use the skills they have learned from the networking curriculum to solve complex routing and switching issues in a production setting. The collaboration component will introduce the concepts of implementing voice and video over a data network, its relationship with Quality of Service (QoS) concepts, and the challenges of deploying these tools in both small and large business environments. The wireless component will focus on the newer 802.11 standard wireless technologies and will give students the knowledge base to survey, analyze, design, implement, configure and deploy a secure wireless infrastructure.
