Overview/Description
With the introduction of voice, video, and mission critical data into the enterprise network, Cisco networking has become more complex today than ever before. To respond to this challenge, network designers must constantly update their skills and awareness of new and emerging Cisco technologies. This course in Cisco network design teaches students to perform the design of a network infrastructure given enterprise business and technical requirements and constraints. The learner's infrastructure design should support the desired network solutions over intelligent network services and should achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. The student will learn the fundamental aspects of network design addressing, security, network management, fine-tuning routing protocols, switching structures, and IP multicast. In addition, this course provides solution models for aspects of the network that are strategic to today's customers, including IP telephony, storage networking, and wireless networking.

Target Audience
This course is applicable to any Cisco System Engineers or users of Cisco equipment responsible for designing network solutions. It is also critical to any individual interested in Cisco Career Certifications - especially those interested in the Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP) certification.

Prerequisites
Because this class is extremely advanced, only those who meet stringent prerequisites are well suited for entry into the ARCH curriculum. Students should first attend the courses, or have equivalent knowledge and experience, included in the Design Associate, Network Associate, and Network Professional programs. Other recommended prerequisite courses and/or knowledge include Voice over IP and Border Gateway Protocal.
