Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1

Course details

Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to implement and support a small switched and routed network.

For the purpose of this course, a small network is defined as 1 to 20 hosts connected to a single switch, with the switch running a single VLAN (VLAN1).

The switch is also connected to a router providing a routed link (Routing Information Protocol [RIP] and default) to a simulated Internet and corporate office.

ICND1 works from the bottom up, providing knowledge and skills as they are needed.

The course starts with an introduction to networks.

It then introduces host-to-host communications using TCP / IP.

Next, Layer 2 devices (switches) are introduced into the network.

Next, Layer 3 devices (routers) are introduced into the network.

The introduction of Layer 3 devices leads to the use of WANs and routing to connect the site to the Internet and corporate sites. Who Should Attend: Channel Partner / Reseller Customer Employee At Course Completion: Upon completion of this course, you should be able to: - How networks function, identifying major components, and function of network components.

• Understand issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues - Extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access - Functions of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing. 
  
• Use of the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the router's startup and configuration Technical Features of this course include the following: - The Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
