This document outlines the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (ICND2) course. The course goal is to teach students to install, operate, and troubleshoot a medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. The course builds upon skills learned in ICND1, such as OSI model and TCP/IP fundamentals. Over 5 days, topics include routing protocols, WAN connectivity, network services, and network management.

What Is the Lifecycle Services Framework?
 The Cisco Lifecycle Services Framework defines the minimum set of activities needed to deploy, operate,
and optimize Cisco technologies successfully throughout the lifecycle of a network.
 There are six phases in the network lifecycle: Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate and Optimize.
 Each phase has a set of service components comprising activities and deliverables to help ensure
service excellence. A network service is performed when a service component item is completed.

CCNA Students:
A Focus on “Implement” and “Operate”
Phase Benefits of the Lifecycle Services Approach
Prepare
Make sound financial decisions by developing a business case that
establishes the financial justification for making a technology change.
Plan
Assess the existing environment to determine whether it can support the
proposed system sufficiently and securely.
Design Design a solution that meets business and technical requirements.
Implement
Integrate the new solution without disrupting the network or creating
points of vulnerability.
Operate Maintain network health through day-to-day operations.
Optimize
Achieve operational excellence by adapting the architecture,
operation, and performance of the network to ever-changing
business requirements and positioning it to reenter the prepare
phase of its lifecycle.

A Network Lifecycle Services Approach:
Why Is It Important Now?
 In the past, point approaches for the Design, Implement, and Operate phases were sufficient to deploy
and support a network.
 Today, network complexity and technology convergence increase the importance of having a network
lifecycle approach that adapts over time to changing business conditions. A coordinated and continual
sequence of lifecycle service activities leads to successful initial implementations and operations as well
as to future optimized performance.
 The Cisco Lifecycle Services approach helps meet these new and more complex requirements.
