LABS for CCNA/CCNP included. Learn how to easily create your own cloud of Ciscorouters, using free demo versions of IOS.
Description
Labs included for CCNA and CCNP.
Note: this course is unique on Udemy (and probably on most of the rest of the Internet as well). If you’re the least interested in networking, you will benefit greatly from this course.
The usual options today only take you so far. Emulator software such as the routers in Cisco Packet Tracer lack many of the functions and commands needed for CCNA certification, and they lack a Lot of functions and technologies for CCNP or CCIE.
And GNS3 is a cheap-quality product with a difficult user interface, and it requires a Cisco contract for access to router images. Our solution is built on a top-rated, commercial-grade hypervisor (ESXi) and free demo versions of the Cisco routing software.
In this course you will learn how to create a lab network using (demo) versions of the real Cisco IOS and IOS XR routing software, which contain support for all advanced routing technologies, including BGP and MPLS.
All you need is this course and free (or very low cost) software and equipment, like an old left-over computer and some applications.
