Cisco CCNA Boot Camp

Course CCNA: Five days; Instructor-Led
 

Course Overview

This five-day course covers the essential topics of ICND 1 and ICND 2 in an intensive Bootcamp format. It teaches students the skills needed to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small-to-medium sized branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security.

This course helps students prepare for ICND1 Exam #640-822 and ICND2 Exam #640-816, or the CCNA Composite Exam # 640-802.

Who will benefit from this course?

This course is intended for students who have general knowledge about local and wide area networking and the underlying protocols such as TCP/IP, who are prepared to learn at a fast pace. The goal is to gain the skills needed to configure, operate, and support small-to-medium sized Cisco networks. This course is for students working towards CCENT through CCNA certification.

Students with no prior knowledge of networking are encouraged to take the ICND 1 and ICND 2 classes individually to learn the CCNA foundational topics at a slower pace.

Course Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

  • Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model

  • Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic to an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues

  • Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree

  • Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and manage the router’s startup and configuration

  • Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP/IP

  • Describing routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network

  • Configure, verify, and troubleshoot RIP

  • 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 and PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers

  • Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements

  • Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation

  • Describe the operation and basic configuration of IPv6

  • Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access
