Objectives

The CCNA Power Workshop is a combination of the ICND1 and the ICND2 class, presenting important networking fundamentals using the Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) seven layer model concepts; terminology and technologies are explained and illustrated using text and graphics animation. The class also focuses on using Cisco Catalyst switches and Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at small to medium network sites. Upon completion of this training course, you will be able to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices.

Course Outline

After completing this Workshop, students will be able to: Describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking terminology, and internetworking concepts
