The Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) portfolio includes a broad collection of Ethernet switching products designed to securely deliver Layer 2 and 3 connectivity for converged networking. This guide is a complete ERS resource, focusing on Nortel's ERS platforms, including the ERS 8600, ERS 8300, ERS 5500, ERS 4500 and ERS 2500.

In this book, three standard designs of Nortel Converged Campus Architecture are discussed in detail, encompassing different sizing and feature requirements. For each design, you will learn about ERS product placement and Nortel's recommended best practices.

The guide is divided into two parts, each helping to prepare you for the related Nortel Professional Certification exams: Nortel Converged Campus ERS Solution (920-220) and the Nortel Converged Campus ERS Installation and Configuration (920-221). The content in the guide is kept current with the content in the certification exam.

Better yet, if you already hold a third party data networking certification, such as the Cisco* CCDA, CCDP or CCNA; you are on the fast track to earning your Nortel Professional Certification. Your third party certification will earn you credit for the Nortel Data Networking Technology exam (920-805). Then, simply passing the 920-220 will earn you the NCDS (design) and passing the 920-221 will earn you the NCSS (support) credential for the ERS product.

Nortel certifications are a competitive differentiator. By earning a Nortel Professional Certification, you will enhance your standing in your current workplace, expand your employment options and better position yourself for a higher salary.
