Course objectives

The course Cisco CCNA (200-301) provides comprehensive preparation in modern networking fundamentals and the use of Cisco technologies in enterprise networks.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • Develop a thorough understanding of the TCP/IP model and key networking technologies.
  • Configure Cisco switches and routers using the CLI.
  • Implement static and dynamic routing (RIP, EIGRP, OSPF).
  • Manage VLANs, trunks, STP and EtherChannel and redundancy protocols.
  • Implement IPv4 and IPv6features, NAT, ACLs and network security.
  • Understand wireless, QoS, automation and SD-Access.
  • Prepare for the official Cisco CCNA (200-301) certification.

Requirements

  • Basic computer skills
  • No previous experience with Cisco devices is required: the course starts with the basics.
