ICND2 2.0: Establishing a WAN Connection Using Frame Relay

Overview/Description
Frame Relay is a standardized WAN technology that is a well-proven, packet-switching, connection-oriented technology that is used to interconnect remote sites. This course describes the basic functionality of Frame Relay, including topologies, reachability issues, and LMI signaling. The course also describes how to configure basic Frame Relay and Frame Relay over point-to-point and multipoint subinterfaces. The course concludes with verification of Frame Relay operations.

Target Audience
Anyone wishing to obtain Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 200-120 certification that validates the knowledge and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 (200-101 ICND2) is an essential course for students preparing for the CCNA Routing and Switching certification or the ICND2 certification. Students pursuing the CCNA Routing and Switching certification should attend parts 1 & 2 of the ICND course. Network administrators, network engineers, network managers, network designers, and project managers. Familiarity with network fundamentals, implementing local-area networks, Internet connectivity, managing network device security, implementing WAN connectivity and basic IPv6 connectivity is recommended.
