Topics:
- LAN Switching and Wireless
- Accessing the WAN

Duration:
Classroom: 40 hours / 5 Days (mandatory)
Additional Lab Work: 60 hours (extra-curriculum)

Introduction
Cisco Certified Network Associate - CCNA Exploration will be delivered in two segments:

Parts I & II
- Network Fundamentals
- Routing Protocols and Concepts

Parts III & IV
- LAN Switching and Wireless
- Accessing the WAN

The complete curriculum provides the student with the skills necessary to succeed in networking-related jobs and services and help them prepare for the CCNA certification. It also help students to fulfil job responsibilities of network technicians, network administrators, and network engineers.

Overview
This course provides a comprehensive, theoretical and practical approach to learning the technologies and protocols needed to design and implement a converged switched network. Students learn about the hierarchical network design model and how to select devices for each layer. The course explains how to configure a switch for basic functionality and how to implement Virtual LANs, VTP and Inter-VLAN routing in a converged network. The different implementations of Spanning Tree Protocol in a converged network are presented, and students develop the knowledge and skills necessary to implement a WLAN in a smallto- medium network.

The course also discusses the WAN technologies and network services required by converged applications in enterprise networks. The course uses the Cisco Network Architecture to introduce integrated network services and explains how to select the appropriate devices and technologies to meet network requirements. Students learn how to implement and configure common data link protocols and how to apply WAN security concepts, principles of traffic, access control and addressing services. Finally, students learn how to detect, troubleshoot and correct common enterprise network implementation issues.
