Creating a Base Configuration for Cisco Devices

This entry-level Cisco training prepares learners to create and implement a base configuration — a core set of common commands — on a Cisco device. Historically, networks were little more than interconnected, individual servers and routers. The challenge of administering such networks is making sure that each packet that moves through them is speaking the right language or formatted the right way.
