TSHOOT: Troubleshooting and Maintaining Cisco IP Networks

This five day course is designed to provide professionals who work in complex network environments with the skills that they need to maintain their networks and to diagnose and resolve network problems quickly and effectively. The course will provide information about troubleshooting and maintaining particular technologies, as well as procedural and organizational aspects of the troubleshooting and maintenance process. A large part of the training will consist of practicing these skills and reinforcing the concepts by putting them to use in a controlled environment. At the end of the course,delegates will have increased their skill level and developed a set of best practices based on their own experiences and those of other delegates that they can then take back into their own organizations.
