Course Objectives

Students will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, connecting to a WAN, and identifying basic security threats. It also includes more in-depth topics that teach learners how to perform basic troubleshooting steps in enterprise branch office networks, preparing students for the Cisco CCNA certification.

Upon completing this course, you will have the skills and knowledge to:

  • Install, operate, and troubleshoot a medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security
  • Describe the effects of new technologies such as IoE, IoT, IWAN, and SDN on network evolution.

At the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe network fundamentals and build simple LANs
  • Establish Internet connectivity
  • Manage and secure network devices
  • Operate a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree
  • Troubleshoot IP connectivity
  • Describe how to configure and troubleshoot Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol(EIGRP) in an IPv4 environment, and configure EIGRP for IPv6
  • Configure and troubleshoot Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) in an IPv4 environment and configure OSPF for IPv6
  • Define characteristics, functions, and components of a WAN
  • Describe how device management can be implemented
  • Understand QoS, virtualization and cloud services, and network programmability related to WAN, access, and core segments.
