Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks(SWITCH)

This course is given on these dates and locations:

Network professionals will learn to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions using Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture.  SWITCH also covers secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice, and video into campus networks.

This course is also offered as part of our LIVE and ONLINE program. Our LIVE and ONLINE learning modality delivers authorized Cisco training taught by a Cisco Certified instructor directly to customers.
 
Every student has access to the class through a standard conference bridge or VoIP with an optional USB Microphone-Headset.  Each student has access to their own unique pod of equipment throughout the week of study.  The online environment is created via WebEx, allowing a live instructor to deliver the training in real time.  By incorporating slides, notes, examples, and Q&A sessions, the instructor is able to recreate the classroom experience.  Our LIVE and ONLINE training is also completely interactive; students have the opportunity for discussion with the instructor as well as with their peers.

This course replaces BCMSN as part of the new Cisco CCNP Certification.
