Overview

This course covers the fundamental and practical knowledge needed to implement Cisco Remote Access Network environments. Delegates will discuss important topics like installing and configuring Cisco’s 766, 1720’s, and 3640’s routers for remote access Multilink PPP and Network Address Translation (NAT). Delegates will also learn to design and implement a remote access network using Cisco equipment.

Prerequisites

Delegates should have Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) or equivalent knowledge is required for this course.

Delegates will learn how to

• Configure Windows 95 PCs for dial-up connections
• Configure ISDN, BRI, and PRI
• Understand PPP Authentications, Multilink, and Callback
• Understand high speed networking technologies
• Configure dial-on-demand routing
• Manage Remote access networks
• Understand Frame relay - traffic shaping
