Course detail

Students will gain knowledge how to install and configure LAN, WAN switches and routers and troubleshoot configuration and cabling. Furthermore, students will gain knowledge about network bandwidth improvements and networking security.

Practical experience of cabling. Knowledge of Ethernet technology, network building, network troubleshooting. Dynamic routing configuration and selection of proper routing protocol.

Students should be able to work with English literature.

CCNA 1- Describe the devices and services that support communication across an Internetwork. Use network protocol models to explain the layers of communications that occur in data networks. Explain the role of protocols in data network communications. Describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes at various layers of data networks. Describe the protocols and services provided by the application layer in the OSI model and describe how this layer operates in simple networks. Analyze the operations and features of the OSI model transport layer protocols and services. Analyze the operations and feature of the OSI model network layer protocols and services and explain the fundamental concepts of routing. Design, calculate, and apply an appropriate addressing scheme to fulfill given requirements. Describe the operation of protocols at the OSI data link layer and how they support communications. Explain the role of physical layer protocols and services in supporting communications across data networks. Explain fundamental Ethernet concepts, media, services, and operation Employ basic cabling and network designs to connect devices for a given network requirement. Build a simple Ethernet network using routers and switches. Use Cisco CLI commands to perform basic router and switch configuration and verification.

CCNA 2 - Describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router. Describe the purpose and nature of routing tables. Explain how a router determines a path and switches packets. Configure and verify router interfaces. Describe the purpose and procedure for configuring static routes. Describe the role of dynamic routing protocols and place these protocols in the context of modern network design. Describe how metrics are used by routing protocols and Identify the metric types used by dynamic routing protocols. Identify the characteristics of distance vector routing protocols. Describe the network discovery process of distance vector routing protocols using Routing Information Protocol (RIP). Describe the functions, characteristics, and operation of RIPv1. Compare and contrast classful and classless IP addressing. Describe classful and classless routing behavior in routed networks. Design and implement a classless IP addressing scheme for a given network. Demonstrate comprehensive RIPv1 configuration skills. Apply basic RIPv2 configuration commands and evaluate classless routing updates. Describe the main features and operation of the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). Use advanced configuration commands with routers implementing EIGRP. Describe the basis features and concepts of link-state routing protocols. Describe the purpose, nature, and operation of OSPF.
