NWIT 255 - Cisco Advanced Routing (Cisco Networking Academy-Semester 5)

This course initiates student preparation for Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification. Focused on constructing scalable networks, advanced routing concepts, and the Cisco CCNP Routing Exam, it builds on materials covered in four semesters of the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) program (Montgomery College courses NWIT 151, NWIT 252, NWIT 253, and NWIT 254). Topics include scalable networks, advanced IP addressing techniques, dynamic routing, single-area and point-to-multipoint OSPF, multi-area OSPF, EIGRP, route optimization, BGP, scaling BGP, and network security. PREREQUISITE(S): NWIT 254 , CCNA certification, or equivalent knowledge and consent of department. Four hours lecture, four hours laboratory each week. Formerly NW 255.

6 semester hours
