Course Introduction

This training course is designed to provide participants with the fundamental concepts and knowledge on how to install, operate, configure, and verify basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This course covers configuring network components such as switches, routers, and wireless LAN controllers; managing network devices; and identifying basic security threats. This will also provide foundation in network programmability, automation and software-defined networking, and prepare participants to take the 200-301 Cisco® Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) exam.

  • Describe the operation of access control lists (ACLs) and their applications in the network
  • Configure Internet access using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) clients and explain and configure network address translation (NAT) on Cisco routers
  • Describe basic quality of service (QoS) concepts
  • Describe the concepts of wireless networks, which types of wireless networks can be built, and how to use
  • Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs)
  • Describe network and device architectures and introduce virtualization
  • Introduce the concept of network programmability and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and describe smart network management solutions such as Cisco DNA Center™, Software-Defined Access (SD-Access), and Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN)
