CISCO CCNA (200-120): The Complete Course

Course details

This course will give students an in-depth understanding of networking, using routers and switches and their various configurations and connections. Students will learn how to configure; default, static and dynamic routing

• This course will also prepare the student in Layer 2 technology and its various configurations, such as; VLAN’s, VTP, STP, PortFast, EtherChannel, Port-Security, Inter-VLAN communication & Trunking.
• Students will also acquire the knowledge needed to secure their routers through the use of Access-list, configuring the different types of NAT & will be able to manage the router’s components.
• Students will also be able to thoroughly grasp the concepts of both Internet Protocols; IPv4 & IPv6.

This complete Cisco CCNA course will cover everything you need to prepare for the 200-120 certification exam!
This course is over 24+ hours in length and will cover all the needed subjects to be successful in passing your CCNA 200-120 exam; also the knowledge and practice labs acquired in this course will be transferable to real world use as a Cisco professional.
"This course is complemented by my newest course: Cisco CCNA (200-120) Labs: Gateway to Success!which covers all the labs needed to further give the students the practice to prepare for configurations and simulations that will be encountered in the CCNA certification exam. I have also created a free Dropbox on my website that has all the material, labs and other resources to compliment my CCNA ;
