Short Course
Leaflet Code: L8956


Overview

A mix of self-study and in person attendance, you will get hands on experience with our state of the art, industry standard equipment. You will learn the theory in your own time via online materials, videos and activities. Every alternative week you will attend the Cisco lab to gain practical hands on experience. CCNAv7 Introduction to Networks (ITN) is designed to prepare you for a career in networking and introduces you to how networks operate.
This first course will introduce you to architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements – functions needed to support the operations and priorities of businesses ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small innovative retailers.
You’ll get the chance to build simple local area networks (LANs) and, while developing a working knowledge of IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, you’ll learn how to perform basic configurations for routers and switches.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
• Build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes.
• Configure routers, switches, and end devices to provide access to local and remote network resources and to enable end-to-end connectivity between remote devices.
• Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills using real equipment and Cisco Packet Tracer.
• Configure and troubleshoot connectivity a small network using security best practices.
After completing all three CCNA courses, you’ll be ready to take the CCNA Certification 200-301.
