Description

UPS, cables, racks, failover tests, network diagrams, troubleshooting... things that you need to know and will struggle to find in a book!             

You know that passing a Cisco exam is not enough, right? You need some real world experience. I appreciate it might not be easy. That's why I came up with this unique idea and recorded a real network refresh project. I use a special action camera so you can see all details (racking, cabling etc.). 

          If you are CCNA certified or you are studying towards that exam, you will get a chance to see a lot of topics from your book in action. This training will show you a network refresh project step by step. When things go wrong... I keep recording. There are no hidden or preconfigured tasks here. You will see everything live! 

        CCNA Real World Project covers: 

  • Overview of project processes

  • Network diagrams

  • MS Project

  • Replacing core Cisco switches

  • Stacking Cisco switches

  • Etherchannels

  • IP SLA and failover

  • Firewalls

  • Adding a new gigabit switch

  • Racking and cabling

  • Troubleshooting network issues

  • Failover tests

  • Logging and monitoring

  • SNMP

  • Back-ups

  • Documentation

  • UPS testing & installation

  • ...and much more

  Contents and Overview 

                                               In over 6 hours of content,  including 50 lectures, this course covers the full cycle of a simple network project. You will find quizzes and challenges to allow you to test your knowledge before  moving to the next section. 

                                               We start from scratch discussing an existing network diagram and our expectations. I show you new devices and how to configure them. 

                                               There is a section dedicated to every single day of the project, showing you every task in detail, including hardware installation and cabling. 

  Check out a real Cisco project. Gain some experience today. 

                                              Join now and learn how I completed a real network project in 5 days.

It was great to see full demonstration of a Network upgrade and some of the items, documents, and issues you will need to take into account when doing this.

Maybe because I have not taken any of his course other than this, but other than Bonus videos, it is not helpful to me.

Content is good and presentator is knowledgeable, but content is presented at a slow pace! could be faster for myself. But that is a more personal opinion. For others the pace is just fine.

All in all the course is good. I know it is a real world example , but I think it was a bit briefed and quick. I wish newer courses provide further details.

Information & content presented was really informative. It gave me confidence in going ahead with any type of Network Migration involving planning, information collection. The Presenter was really knowledgable and it will be great if he can present on additional topics like cloud security, integration of only specific domain devices. Thanks a lot for the very informative knowledge sharing done with real practical lab.

I bought most of his video. I like it . He shows what you will face as a tech. He goes straight how to do it , also shows how you plan before you do.

Another excellent course by Marious. As always, a lot of troubleshooting, hard work, up-to-date contents, surprises and tons of fun. Marious is always adding new contents to his courses and answering to every question. This is the right course for any one that wants to become a better network engineer.

This was an enjoyable and informative course. Without going in to too much detail, Marious covers a range of steps that would be taken in performing a typical network upgrade. What I liked best was Marious' teaching style. It's rather like having a more experienced colleague walk you through the procedures, as opposed to the traditional student/lecturer format.

I'm enrolled in various courses of Marious Kurita because they are simply the best in matter of real world networking. As IT Coordinator of a large company present in multiple countries all over the world, this course helped me to keep in mind something really important, "no single point of failure" which is a very importante topic and will make you sleep better! Inspite of my twenty years of experience as IT System Administrator and Security, reviewing this lectures with Marious, with his unique style, never boring, even making us laugh with his stories, helped me to follow and apply some forgotten best practices.

I really enjoy Mario's course, as a person getting into networking, you need valuable information for a person who has real world experience. I enjoy listening to Mario who takes time to explain and make you feel comfortable with the information he is presenting. I look forward to taking more courses from him in the future.

I was expecting the rack inside a Data Center or real company. Bad cable management. A lot of information missing. I didn't like it!

Great course for those who do not have access to real equipment as it will give them the opportunity to get a little bit more familiar with network devices and also learn about network project management life cycle. -ICND1 level or similar recommended in order to be able to follow the course as at some point it even exceeds CCNA level -Marious is always available to answer any question or doubt regarding his courses and to provide support if needed - Quality/price is definitely worth the value like all his other courses

The content of this course is superb. It clarified a lot of the questions that I had from reading some the different ccna books,video course that are out there. Being a good teacher is more than just knowing the subject, it also involves being able to communicate the subject to the students. And sir marious definitely excels in both areas.I really appreciate that he doesn't hide behind a PowerPoint he show everything clear.this is a unique real world senario course it help student who didn,t work in real environment yet dont worry after taking this course indivual will fell like master.thanks to marious for having superb course will get more in future as well.
