The course covers foundational knowledge, skills, and technologies including network protocols and host-to-host communication, data center networking concepts and technologies, data center storage networking, and Cisco UCS architecture. To participate in the hands-on labs in this class, you need to bring a laptop computer with the following: We recommend using at least a Pentium 4 or better and 1 GB of RAM or more. We recommend running Windows XP Professional SP3 or greater (Vista & Windows 7/8). Mac & Linux machines are also supported. Browser Requirements: Internet Explorer 10 or greater or Mozilla Firefox. (Safari and Mozilla Firefox for Mac OSX) All students are required to have administrator rights to their PCs and cannot be logged in to a domain using any Group Policies that will limit their machine's capabilities. If you do not have administrator rights to your PC, you at least need permissions to download, install, and run Cisco Any Connect Client. If you are participating in a WebEx event, it is highly recommended to take this class at a location that has bandwidth speeds at a minimum of 1 Mbps bandwidth speeds.
