Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 v1.0
The Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) 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. After the course a learner should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.
Objectives
Upon finishing this course, you will be able to:
Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the 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
- 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 networks using TCP/IP
- Describe the function of 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 manage the router startup and configuration
