Cisco CCNA
The Cisco CCNA course prepares participants to manage small to medium-sized networks by teaching essential skills like installation, operation, and troubleshooting. The course covers network fundamentals, LANs, WANs, access control, security, and automation, using various Cisco technologies. Participants will learn about IOS, OSPF, VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, and SDN, as well as explore wireless networks, virtualization, and smart network management. The training is designed to help participants understand these concepts using plain and simple language. Upon completion, the course contributes to the preparation for the Cisco CCNA certification exam, opening doors to networking roles in diverse industries.
Course Objectives
The main objectives of the Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) course are:
- Understanding network fundamentals: Participants will learn about the different types of networks, network topologies, and network devices.
- Building LANs and WANs: Participants will learn how to design and implement local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs) using Cisco technologies.
- Understanding network access: Participants will learn about the different ways to authenticate and authorize network access, as well as how to implement basic access control measures.
- Ensuring network security: Participants will learn how to implement network security measures to protect against threats and attacks.
- Understanding automation and programmability: Participants will learn about the benefits of network automation and how to use programming languages to automate network tasks.
Upon completion of the course, individuals should be able to take Cisco 200-301 Exam to achieve a Cisco CCNA Certification.
