KEY LEARNING POINTS

Cisco CCNA Routing & Switching Courseware (with Live Labs)

Over the course of two modules, participants will learn everything they need to manage a basic Cisco network and begin the process of earning a CCNA qualification.

Upon completion of the first module, students will have learned:

• How to implement Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM) to improve IP addressing efficiency.
• The importance of IPv6 and how to implement it within a corporate network and the use of Open Shortest Path First (OPSF) routing
• Implementing VLANs and Trunks to route and segment traffic for improved network performance.
• Scaling a network using NAT and PAT to meet the need of a growing business.

The second section of the ICND course takes students through the process of managing, maintaining and troubleshooting a Cisco-based network. Using the supplied course materials and Practice-Lab access, participants will master:

• Administration and licensing of Cisco hardware devices and management tools.
• Configuration of clients for SNMP, Syslog, Netflow, OSPF and EIGRP according to specific business needs.
• Troubleshooting IPv4 and IPv6 network connectivity.
• The use of Spanning Tree protocol and Etherchannel.
• The application of Layer 3 redundancy protocols to improve network resilience.
