Cisco CCNA Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 & 2 -100-101 & 200-101

Gain the skills and knowledge required to properly manage a Cisco based network with this two-part introduction to IP data networking technologies and equipment. This course is specifically designed for network administrators and engineers tasked with configuring and managing a small to medium sized corporate network.

Students will gain a complete understanding of IP networking fundamentals before going on to study how that knowledge applies to network design and Cisco equipment configuration. From IP networking protocols, to network expansion using Network Address Translation (NAT), through to using EIGRP to further improve network efficiency and resiliency, the CCNA ICND course takes students through everything they need to manage and maintain a modern Cisco-based network.

The course also takes students through the identification and mitigation of network security threats, and the use of Access Control Lists (ACLs) to further safeguard resources and data. This can then be combined with spanning tree protocol NAT and VLAN configurations to create a network that grows as the company does.

Completing this course will not only ensure that network administrators have a solid understanding of corporate networking technologies, but they will also be fully prepared to continue their studies towards the highly-prized CCNA qualification.

Split into to parts, the CCNA Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices course helps network engineers clarify and consolidate their understanding of basic IP networking, routing and switching concepts. Using a self-study approach that includes instructor-led materials, participants will fully understand:

• The deployment and configuration of IPv6.
• Implementing VLSM and OSPF to build efficient networks.
• Using NAT and PAT to scale networks to accommodate the changing needs of a business.
• Building and routing between VLANs to prioritise network traffic types and sources.
• Implementing ACLs to restrict traffic flow and boost data security.

The course then moves on to teach delegates how to apply these techniques using Cisco hardware. Topics covered include:

• Configuring and managing Cisco networking devices, and troubleshooting issues as and when they occur.
• Identification and mitigation of security threats.
• Implementing, managing and troubleshooting EIGRP for IPv4 and IPv6.
• Understanding advanced networking technologies including Panning Tree Protocol and Etherchannel.
• The use of Layer 3 Redundancy protocols to improve network resilience.

Students can test their progress and knowledge at any point during their studies using the inbuilt practice exam simulators that will also help them identify topics which require further attention.

The Cisco ICNDv2 course is an essential study for network administrators and engineers who are responsible for the day to day running of a business-critical network. By completing this course, networking professionals will:

• Have a solid understanding of general networking fundamentals that can be applied to any corporate network.
• Understand the proper configuration and deployment of Cisco networking devices.
• Be able to build secure and robust network infrastructures that meet real-world business demands.
• Increase efficiency and traffic prioritisation using VLANs, NAT and other advanced configuration options.

Delegates will not only have completed two of the modules required for CCNA qualification, but they will also have increased their skill levels and improved their employment prospects.
