Description

Overview

The Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) v1.0 course gives you a broad range of fundamental knowledge for all IT careers. Through a combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study, you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The course covers configuring network components such as switches, routers, and wireless LAN controllers; managing network devices; and identifying basic security threats. The course also gives you a foundation in network programmability, automation, and software-defined networking.

This course helps you prepare to take the 200-301 Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) exam. By passing this one exam, you earn CCNA certification.

Course Objectives

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe the purpose of Layer 3 redundancy protocols.

  • Describe basic WAN and VPN concepts.

  • 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).

  • Configure basic IOS system monitoring tools.

  • Describe the management of Cisco devices.

  • Describe the current security threat landscape.

  • Describe threat defence technologies.

  • Implement a basic security configuration of the device management plane.

  • Implement basic steps to harden network devices.
