• Recommended for CCNA:
  Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1, Version 1.1 (ICND1)
  Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2, Version 1.1 (ICND2)
  CCNA Blended Learning Boot Camp (CCNABL)
  
• Recommended for CCDA: Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions, Version 2.1 (DESGN).
• Recommended for ROUTE: Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE).
• Recommended for SWITCH: Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH).

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Discuss the enterprise network needs for performance, scalability, and availability
• Describe how the enterprise network architecture is used as a framework for designing enterprise networks
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise campus network designs
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise data center designs
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed enterprise edge and remote infrastructure designs
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed network service designs for security considerations
• Create conceptual, intermediate, and detailed virtual private network designs

The Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) v2.1 course enables you to perform the conceptual, intermediate, and detailed design of a network infrastructure that supports desired network solutions over intelligent network services, to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. This course enables you, applying solid Cisco network solution models and recommended design practices, to provide viable, stable enterprise internetworking solutions.

The course presents concepts and examples necessary to design converged enterprise networks. Advanced network infrastructure technologies, such as virtual private networks (VPNs) and other security solutions, are also covered.
