This course focuses on the implementation and troubleshooting of advanced routing technologies and services. It is designed for senior network engineers who need to master the complexities of enterprise-scale Layer 3 networks, VPN services, and infrastructure security.
Students will move beyond basic configuration to perform deep-tissue troubleshooting of the most common and complex networking protocols in use today.
Key Learning Domains
