Description
Are you ready to design and configure a real-world enterprise network using Cisco Packet Tracer?
In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to build a fully functional three-tier switch network — the same architecture used by corporations, universities, and data centers around the world.
We’ll walk step-by-step through the process of designing and implementing the core, distribution, and access layers, while also adding realistic devices like PCs, printers, servers, and IP phones.
You’ll gain practical experience configuring:
VLANs and inter-VLAN routing
HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) for gateway redundancy
Structured cabling across all three layers
Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching
Access layer security features like port security, DHCP snooping, and more
End-to-end connectivity to the internet or external networks
This course is perfect for CCNA students, aspiring network engineers, or anyone who wants to move beyond basic Packet Tracer labs and into enterprise-level topology design.
You don’t need years of experience — just a basic understanding of networking concepts and a willingness to learn.
This course doesn’t just teach theory — you’ll be building and configuring the topology step by step with real-time explanations and practical tips. You’ll understand how enterprise networks are structured and learn how to replicate them in a lab environment for practice, study, or job preparation.
Best of all, when you complete the course, you’ll earn a professionalCertificate of Completionthat you can proudly add to your résumé and LinkedIn profile — helping you stand out in today’s competitive IT job market. This certificate demonstrates that you have the skills and confidence to contribute from day one — exactly what employers are looking for.
Who this course is for:
- Aspiring Network Engineers who want to build real-world skills by designing and configuring a professional-grade three-tier network topology.
- CCNA Students looking for hands-on Packet Tracer practice with switching, VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, HSRP, and network layering.
- IT Support Technicians and Helpdesk Staff ready to take their networking knowledge to the next level by learning how enterprise networks are structured and secured.
