Cisco CCNP®: Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT)

Learning Outcomes:

• Given a fully operational internetwork Lab, interconnecting end systems using Cisco systems routers and switches, administrative access to the network, and access to Cisco IOS commands and applications, students will successfully establish a baseline, so the topology and configuration is diagrammed and tabulated.

• Given interconnecting end systems using Cisco systems routers and switches, and the principles of a layered model troubleshooting approach in the Activity Lab, students will determine and document a troubleshooting strategy so internetwork problems can be detected and corrected consistently.

• Given the sub-optimal operation of an internetwork at the physical or data link layer, a list of user-reported symptoms, and a network baseline, students will accurately use Cisco IOS commands and applications to resolve optimization and failure problems at the physical or data link layer, so that the framed data moves from one end of a data link to another at the expected data error rate determined in the network baseline.

This five day course will provide learners with hands-on experience in troubleshooting sub-optimal performance in a converged network and is an integral part of any approach to obtain the technical proficiency to prepare the student for the CCNP exam.

* Establishing a Baseline
* Determining an effective troubleshooting strategy
* Resolving Problems at the Physical and Data Link Layers
* Resolving Problems at the Network Layer
* Resolving Problems at the Transport and Application Layers

Cisco CCNP®: Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT)

After successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Given a fully operational internework, interconnecting end systems using Cisco systems routers and switches, administrative access to the network, and access to Cisco IOS commands and applications that are used to discover baseline configuration information, students will establish a baseline, so that the topology and configuration is diagrammed and tabulated. Given interconnecting end systems using Cisco systems routers and switches, and the principles of a layered model troubleshooting approach, students will determine and document a troubleshooting strategy so that internetwork problems can be detected and corrected consistently.
