The CCNA® certification indicates a professional's knowledge of and foundation in basic networking. This course incorporates content from Cisco® ICND 1 and ICND 2 focusing on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small and medium branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN and implanting network security. A student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.

In order to prepare students to obtain the CCNA® certification credential, this program is comprised of content from both Interconnecting Cisco® Network Devices Part 1 and Interconnecting Cisco® Network Devices Part 2. Upon successful completion of this program, students should be prepared to sit for the Cisco® 640-802 certification exam.

No other self-paced program is as up-to-date or as complete as this package. This program contains E-learning and a 24/7 mentor to answer any questions you may have and to provide feedback on your performance. In addition, each student will receive an actual Cisco IOS® simulation to provide students with a playground to practice CCNA®, enabling students to interact with routers and switches just like real devices.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
• Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues.
• Describes the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access.
• Describes the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP.
• Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing.
• Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the routers startup and configuration.
• Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network.
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
• Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP.
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
• Successfully complete the Cisco® 640-802 exam.
