What you'll learn

Networks are becoming increasingly complex, requiring modern designs for performance and scalability. In this course, Cisco Enterprise Networks: Network Architecture and SDN, you’ll learn to implement efficient enterprise network designs using Cisco technologies. First, you’ll explore hierarchical and fabric-based architecture. Next, you’ll discover how to configure high availability techniques like FHRP and SSO. Finally, you’ll learn how to integrate software defined networking (SDN) for centralized management and automation. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge needed to design, implement, and optimize scalable enterprise networks.
