Cisco CCENT (ICND 1)

Course length: 5.0 day(s)

Course Description
The CCENT certification stands for the Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician. This credential from Cisco is an entry level certification that puts you on the path toward a networking career using Cisco technologies. It validates your basic networking and network security skills including installation, operation, and troubleshooting of small branch networks. In order to earn this certification, you must pass the Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 CCENT certification exam which measures your fundamental abilities in networking, basic security, basic wireless, connecting to WANs, routing and switching, WAN technologies, operating and configuring IOS devices, network protocols, simple network configuration, IP addressing, NAT and DHCP implementation, static and default routing and configuring RIPv2.
This five-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, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. A Student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.

After completing this course the student should 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.

Prerequisites:

  • Commonly used networking terms and topologies
  • The basic functions of a network protocol
  • Fundamental network device roles (for example, hub, bridge, router, and switch)
  • The Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
  • The use of Windows OS to run multiple applications
