Today we explore how to understand the global internet, WAN & LAN environments which is paramount for any pre-sales engineer. While we understand IP subnetting, DHCP, routing and switching is not always glamourous it is necessary. :-)
All Cloud workloads require the internet and possessing the knowledge to understand Layer 1-3 within the OSI model will propel you deeper with customers. Why? If your SaaS applications are slowly converging, how would you troubleshoot or begin to figure out a solution? What if you provided branch location solutions and you didn't understand the limitation of a hub plugged in for users? Well, hopefully, a hub isn't in-line however you'd be surprised as Sales Engineers what blinky things we find!
VPNs, packet analyzing, DNS and more are some great topics to learn in the CCNA curriculum.
