CIS 2501 – Building Scalable Cisco Networks
This course focuses on advanced routing and using Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at medium to large network sites. Upon completion of this training course, the student will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build a scalable routed network. This curriculum prepares the student for the BSCN exam one of four for the CCNP Certification.
