Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject the student will be able to:

•     Demonstrate a general understanding of WAN networking technologies and concepts with emphasis on Cisco-supported technologies
•     Choose an appropriate AppleTalk design solution, choose addressing and naming conventions to build manageable and scalable AppleTalk internetworks and use Cisco IOS TM features to design scalable AppleTalk internetworks.
•     Recommend appropriate point-to-point and asynchronous WAN solutions, and choose appropriate link encapsulation for point-to-point circuits.
•     Choose an ISDN design that conserve bandwidth and is cost effective.
•     Choose a robust and scalable internetwork WAN design using nonbroadcast multi-access X.25, X.25 subinterface configuration and X.25 switching to provide X.25 service over an integrated IP backbone.
•     Use Enhanced IGRP for path determination in internetworks that support IP, IPX, and Appletalk.
•     Demonstrate an understanding of how to design and build simple LAN and WAN networks and to configure Cisco routers and switches with emphasis on Routing Protocols (RIP, IGRP), ACL�s, Remote Access Technologies using dial-up, Circuit and Packet Switched Network (ISDN, X.25, Frame Relay, PPP) configuration and limited WAN methodologies
•     Choose an appropriate ATM design solution and designs using ATM technology for high-performance workgroups and high-performance backbones
•     Choose an appropriate IPX design solution; choose the appropriate routing protocol for an IPX internetwork and design scalable and manageable IPX internetworks by controlling RIP and SAP traffic.
•     Choose an appropriate NetBIOS design solution, and design a source-route-bridged internetwork that provides connectivity for NetBIOS applications and controls NetBIOS explorer traffic.
•     Choose a full or partial mesh Frame Relay nonbroadcast multi-access (NBMA) core for full or partial connectivity, choose a scalable topology for NBMA Frame Relay and use subinterface Frame Relay configurations to design robust core WANs.
•     Describe methods for monitoring your internetwork design
•     List common concerns that customers have about WAN designs examine statements made by a customer and distinguish issues that affect the choice of WAN designs, design core WAN connectivity to maximize availability and optimize utilization of resources.
