CCNA: 2: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (2 part: Part 1 Fast Track)

Course Overview

This course provides the information needed for CCENT certification using live equipment in practicals to re-enforce theory.

Combined with ICND part 2 this course prepares delegates for CCNA certification.

The course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office networks including configuring a switch, a router, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.

Audience

This course is intended for System Engineers who will install, operate and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network.

Skills Gained

Upon completion of this course, the delegate will 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
• Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access
• Describe 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 neighbours on the network and managing the router's startup and configuration

Prerequisites

None.
