Description:
Our CCNA course (ISS2902) is designed to prepare students to pass the CCNA (640-801), INTRO (640-821), and ICND (640-811) Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA certification exams. The course covers the skills necessary to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot Cisco networking devices and includes topics on Extending Switched Networks with VLANS, Determining IP Routes, Managing IP traffic with Access Lists, Establishing Point-to-Point connections, and Establishing Frame Relay Connections.

This course includes student training manuals, tutorials, lesson plans, exercises, assignments, quizzes, and many other valuable training resources.

Prerequisites:
None

Course Outline:
Network Models

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to different networking models and their functions in helping to understand network communication and design. Topics covered in this module include the OSI model, the DoD TCP/IP model, and the Cisco hierarchical network design model. By the end of this module, students will be able to list and describe the layers of each model, as well as describe different protocols, equipment, and/or functions found at each layer.

Networking Essentials

• designed to provide students with a solid understanding of core networking concepts, equipment, and technologies. Topics covered in this module include network transmission methods, LAN technologies such as Ethernet, network cabling, differentiating between network devices, network topologies, and more.

Introduction to Switching

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the idea of switched network communication and its benefits. Topics covered in this module include Cisco switching methods, the functions of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Virtual LANs (VLANs), and the initial configuration of a Cisco Catalyst switch.

TCP/IP and IPX/SPX

• is designed to provide students with a solid fundamental understanding of both the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocol suites. Topics covered in this module include the functions and makeup of the core protocols in each suite, and a closer look at their individual responsibilities in the network communication process.

IP Addressing and Subnetting

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the IP addressing schemes and how subnetting works towards logically dividing an IP address space. Topics covered in this module include classes of addresses, private address ranges, understanding the purpose of subnetting, creating custom subnet masks, determining address ranges based on a custom mask, supernetting, and more. By the end of this module, students will be completely comfortable with both the theory and implementation of custom subnetting schemes.

Router Hardware and Software

• is designed to provide students with an introductory look at the hardware and software components of Cisco routers. Topics covered in this module include a look at the major hardware components of a router such as ports, memory types, and software elements like the Cisco IOS. By the end of the module, students will be able to identify the major hardware and software components of a router, and identify the functions, roles, and characteristics of each.

Router Configuration

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the configuration of a Cisco router from the command line interface (CLI). Topics covered in this module include router modes, console connection methods, the initial setup of a Cisco router, the configuration of general and port-specific settings, using network diagnostic tools, and configuring proprietary protocols like CDP. By the end of this module, students will feel comfortable connecting to and configuring a Cisco router from the command line.

Router Protocols

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the functions of routing protocols and their importance in large internetworks. Topics covered in this chapter include the theory and implementation of common routing protocols such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP). By the end of this module, students will understand the purpose and functions of routing protocols, and feel comfortable implementing them on Cisco routers.

Access Lists

• is designed to provide students with a solid and comprehensive look at how access lists can be used to control the flow of traffic to or from different networks on Cisco routers. Topics covered in this module include understanding and implementing both standard and extended IP and IPX access lists. By the end of this module, students will not only understand the importance of access lists and how to configure them, but also how to implement access lists to achieve different network traffic objectives.

Troubleshooting Cisco Routers

• is designed to provide students with a fundamental understanding of different methods and router modes than can be used in the process of attempting to troubleshoot issues with Cisco routers. Topics covered in this module include configuration registers, different router modes, and password recovery. By the end of this module students will have the skills necessary to troubleshoot all of the most common problems typically encountered with a Cisco router.

Wide Area Networks

• is designed to provide students with a comprehensive overview of popular WAN protocols and their implementation. Topics covered in this module include point-to-point links, ISDN, and Frame Relay. By the end of this module, students will be able to determine the most appropriate WAN technology for a given situation, as well as configure a Cisco router to function properly within that WAN environment.

Cisco Switch Configurations

• is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of the commands used to configure different Cisco Catalyst-series switches. Topics covered include the configuration of switching methods, port settings, VLANs, trunking protocols, and more. By the end of this module, students will feel comfortable with the process of configuring a Cisco Catalyst switch from its command line interface.
