Details
and Prerequisites
Today's internetworking
environment continues to become more complex as the frontiers of
technology move forward. To remain competitive, resellers are placing
ever-increasing demands on their internetworking support professionals.
These demands promote the need for expanded reseller technical training
to provide a solid foundation for selling and supporting Cisco networking
solutions. With that, the WW Channels Organization provides the
Advanced SE Training Initiative (ASET). This initiative is to help
provide guidance and support to certified partners who may need
help meeting these challenging demands.
Program
Details
ASET is remote access based training largely specific to
post-sales build, configure, test, troubleshoot and debug efforts.
The training covers a broad range of topics and general knowledge.
(OSPF and BGP routing, to name just a few) General LAN/WAN knowledge,
including data encapsulation and layering; windowing, flow control,
and relation to delay; error detection and recovery; link-state,
distance-vector, and switching algorithms; and management, monitoring,
and fault isolation.
Knowledge of
a variety of corporate technologies-including major services provided
by Desktop, WAN, and Internet groups as well as the functions, addressing
structures, and routing, switching, and bridging implications of
each of their protocols. Knowledge of Cisco specific technologies,
including router/switch platforms, architectures, and applications;
communication servers; protocol translation and applications; configuration
commands and system/network impact; and LAN/WAN interfaces, capabilities
and applications.
Participation
To take advantage of Advanced SE Training, a partner must
have the sponsorship of their local Cisco WW Channels SE.
This means that the partner SE and the local Cisco SE must
prepare a technical readiness plan which includes the following:
- The evaluation
of the partner SE's level of technical expertise. This allows
the local Cisco SE to provide suggestions on classes to take,
books to read, and web links to online trainings. Usually this
is done before the candidate attempts the written exam. Then a
second evaluation is conducted before the attempt at the lab exam.
- Suggest attendance
in a Cisco Certification Study Group hosted by the local Cisco
office. By joining the local CCSG the partner SE can participate
in discussions on various topics pertaining to the CCIE Written
Exam or other Cisco Career Certifications. Many of the CCSG's
have guest speakers discuss areas of specialization such as TAC
engineers, Lead SE and Product Managers.
- Outline a
partner SE's ability to devote the self study time and ability
to apply practical study methods.
Practice
Lab
Prerequisites
After completing the initial steps provided by the local Cisco office,
the following prerequisites must be met before an ASET Practice
Lab can be scheduled:
- Successfully
