Cisco ICND 1
Description
This 5-day course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network, including configuring a switch, a router, connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. A learner should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.  This is the first in a two-course series preparing the learner for the CCENT and CCNA certifications.

Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to:
  • Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and
    the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
  • Using the host-to-host packet delivery process , describe issues related to increasing traffic on an
    Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues
  • Describes the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access
  • Describes the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP/IP
  • Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing
  • Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the router's startup and configuration
