Overview/Description
LANs are a relatively low-cost means of sharing expensive resources. LANs allow multiple users in a fairly small geographic area to exchange files and messages, and to access shared resources such as file servers. LANs have rapidly evolved into support systems that are critical to communications within an organization. Properly configured and managed network devices are important tools for the efficient and safe operation of LANs. Cisco IOS Software is a feature-rich network operating system software that provides network intelligence for business-critical solutions. This course describes the challenges that shared LANs face as they confront the increasing need for bandwidth and speed to satisfy the needs of multiple users. This course also introduces the Cisco IOS Software as well as its basic configuration.
