ICND Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND 2)

Course length: 5.0 day(s)

Course Description
This course provides you with the knowledge needed to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-size branch office enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN and implementing network. You will design and implement a medium size WAN network. This course also provides the information needed for CCNA certification, including comprehensive hands-on reinforcement to provide real world skills. The course is designed for delegates with a firm background in data networking that have some hands-on experience with Cisco routers and switches and are looking to increase their knowledge of installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting medium-sized switched and routed networks, security.

After completing this course the student should be able to:

  • Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network.
  • Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
  • Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
  • Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF.
  • Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP.
  • Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
  • Describe when to use NAT or PAT on a medium-sized network, and configure NAT or PAT on routers.
  • Identify and implement the appropriate WAN technology based on network requirements.

Prerequisites:
CCENT or equivalent experience.
The participant should have a working knowledge of the following:

  • 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
  • Binary and hexadecimal numbering

Course Outline:

  • Review the Cisco IOSĀ® Software command structure for routers and switches
  • Build LANs and understand how to overcome problems associated with Layer 2 switching
  • Evaluate the differences between link-state and distance vector routing protocols
  • Configure and troubleshoot OSPF in a single area
  • Configure and troubleshoot EIGRP
  • Identify and filter traffic with ACLs
  • Use Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) to conserve IPv4 address space and implement IPv6
  • Connect different sites over WANs or the Internet using IPSec VPN, SSL VPN, leased line, and Frame Relay connections
