Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices pt1
Description
This 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.
At the end of this course a student should be able to complete the configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.
Objectives
After you complete this course you will be able to:
- Describe how networks function, identifying major components, functions of network components, and the OSI reference model
- Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues that are related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues
- Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN, and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access
- Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers, and how routed networks transmit data through using TCP/IP
- Describe the function of WANs and the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, and PAT and RIP routing
- Use the CLI to discover neighbors on the network and manage router startup and configuration
Participants
This course is intended for System Engineers who will install, operate and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network. This is an entry level course and is ideal for those individuals new to networking and who are looking to start their Cisco Career Certification accreditation.
