5 Day Course
Course Overview
learn how to design a distributed solution and implement it effectively. This course covers complete training on Extended Topology and Problem Diagnosis. The
Extended Topology deployment section includes labs using an SNMP simulation package (MIMIC), which
allows the product to be run in a live environment to simulate common problems that can occur during
deployment and how to troubleshoot them. This course is 40 percent lecture and 60 percent hands-on
