CCNA – CISCO Certified Network Associate (640-802)

Course Description

This Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) new curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills.

This new curriculum also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs).

In order to prepare students to obtain the CCNA credential, the new curriculum includes both an Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies module and an Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) module. The course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium – size branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.

Course Objective

At the end of this course participants 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 .
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 & EIGRP.
Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers.
Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements. Course Duration 8 days Pre-requisite
