Understand interoperability issues when running in a multivendor network
Course Description
Today's corporations base their success on the performance of their voice and data communications networks. In order to design and configure these rapidly evolving networks, an understanding of routing and switching technologies is essential. In this powerful 3-day course, extensive hands-on labs, utilizing Cisco, Dell, 3Com, and Nortel routers and switches, will help you understand routing and switching concepts, as well as how to better design and configure your real-world internetworks.
