Routers play a crucial role in computer networking. Networking technologies have made it possible to implement connectivity over broad geographical areas. In this course, you'll discover the inner workings of routers including logical segmentation, static and dynamic routing and the ways routers make decisions. Then you'll learn about routing metrics and tables. You'll explore the various routing protocols and how basic router configuration is performed. You'll then explore Wide Area Networks (WANs) and their related technologies including WAN providers, circuit-switched and packet-switched networks, and SONET. Then you'll discover Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Carrier Ethernet networks. Finally, you'll learn about cloud-based networks and how they can provide connectivity over the internet. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
