Course Overview
In Scalability and Troubleshooting students will extend the network scalability issues caused by IPv4 address depletion and consider campus designs that provide a scalable network architecture. Students will learn how to allow secure remote access to Wide Area Networks as well as how to monitor and troubleshoot a scalable network architecture. The different types of network traffic (for example: VoIP and Email), their network characteristics and the type of Quality of Service (QoS) needed for each of these categories of traffic will be discussed. Students will implement protocols used to monitor and manage the different types of network traffic. Virtualization, network automation and Software Defined Networking (SDN) will also be presented in this badge.
