Prerequisites for This Course

Before beginning this course, you should be familiar with all of the internetworking technologies

described on the Cisco Connection Training CD. Specifically, you should be able to complete the

following tasks before beginning this course:

Define networking technology terms, such as LAN, WAN, bridging, switching, protocols, and

network management.

Explain the operation and implementation of source-route bridging, transparent bridging, and

mixed-media bridging.

Describe the purpose and operation of routed protocols including Internet protocols, Novell IPX

and SAP, AppleTalk, IBM SNA, DECnet, Open Systems Interconnection, Banyan VINES, and

Xerox Network Systems.

Describe the purpose and operation of routing protocols including RIP, OSPF, IGRP, Enhanced

IGRP, BGP, IP multicast, RSVP, NLSP, IBM routing, DECnet routing, and OSI routing.

List the technologies required by each networking devices and by each link, and across the

network, given a simple network diagram or technical scenario.

Given a technical scenario, a simple network diagram, and a list of networking technologies,

identify how the listed networking technologies provide the services required by the network.

Case Studies

This course is built around the following four case study.

CareTaker Publications, a publishing company

PH Network Services Corporation, a health care company

Pretty Paper Ltd., a European wall covering company

Jones, Jones, & Jones, an international law firm

Each case study demonstrates different aspects of network design for small- to medium-sized

businesses. The CCDA Sylvan examination for this course will present similar case studies and

solutions. For each case study, you will:

Analyze the existing network.

Determine the customer's requirements.

Answer questions to help you design internetworking solutions.

The questions are designed to help you evaluate if you have mastered each section and are ready to

move on to the next. After you answer the questions for each case study, view our answers to see how

your solution compares. Although there is no single correct answer to internetwork design or to the

case studies in this course, our internetworking experts have made recommendations and explained

how they made their decision.

Before starting this course, obtain a binder where you can store information related to each case study

in the course. As you progress through the course you will be required to draw topology diagrams for

each case study. The topology diagrams will be referenced over and over again as you progress

through the modules.

Role of the Cisco Certified Design Associate

Your role as a Cisco Certified Design Associate is to be a network design consultant. You will act like

an architect, building comprehensive designs that solve your customer's internetworking problems and

provide the required functionality, performance, and scalability. In the same way that an architect

designs a building or house for a client, you will develop blueprints for an overall internetwork

design, as well as components plans for various pieces of the internetwork.

CiscoFusion

Cisco has developed an integrated network architecture, called CiscoFusion. With the CiscoFusion

architecture, multiple networking technologies, operating at different networking layers, can provide

the right capabilities to handle different networking issues.

Many of your customers may already be aware of the recent internetworking trend toward an

integrated view of networking technologies. As a Cisco Certified Design Associate, you will be
