Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

Course details

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) helps individual to validate their ability to install, configure, operate, and troubleshoot medium-size route and switched networks, including implementation and verification of connections to remote sites in a WAN.

CCNA curriculum includes basic mitigation of security threats, introduction to wireless networking concepts and terminology, and performance-based skills. It also includes (but is not limited to) the use of these protocols: IP, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Serial Line Interface Protocol Frame Relay, Routing Information Protocol Version 2 (RIPv2), VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs)

Learning Objectives

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

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the 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 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 neighbors on the network and manage the router start up and configuration
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
• Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
• Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network and configure NAT or PAT on routers
• Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements.
