Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure Design: Wide Area Network Infrastructure

This course explains the role of RADIUS on a network and the integration of RADIUS and Windows 2000. It further explains the role of a VPN on a network and discusses the strategies for VPN availability and performance. Next, this course introduces you to the Demand-Dial Routing strategy in Windows 2000 and discusses Demand-Dial Routing installation, as well as the methods of Demand-Dial Security. The course also describes the role of multicasting in a network and explains the procedure for configuring Multicast forwarding and IGMP Proxy. Finally, the course explains the interoperability of the Windows 2000 systems with the IBM hosts systems, the types of networks, and their connectivity, and also explains the interoperability of the Windows 2000 systems with the resources of Novell Netware networks.

Wide Area Network Infrastructure training covers such topics as:

Remote Authentication Dial-up Remote Access (RADIUS)
Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Demand-Dial Routing Strategy
Multicast Strategy
Multi Protocol Strategy

The course addresses the training needs of system administrators and network architects involved in the infrastructure design of a Windows 2000 network. This course also addresses the needs of IT professionals who want to become certified under the Windows 2000 MCSE track.

Completion of this course and the other Course titles from this curriculum prepares the learner for Microsoft Exam #70-221: Designing a Microsoft Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure.
