With a CCENT certification, a network professional demonstrates the skills required for entry-level network support positions the starting point for many successful careers in networking. The Cisco 100-105 Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) is the exam associated with the CCENT certification and a tangible first step in achieving the CCNA Routing and Switching certification. The curriculum covers the concepts and skills required to successfully install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office network. The exam includes topics on the Operation of IP Data Networks; LAN Switching Technologies; IP Addressing (IPv4 & IPv6); IP Routing Technologies; IP Services (DHCP, NAT, ACLs); Network Device Security; Basic Troubleshooting. CCENT is the required first step to going on to achieve the CCNA certification.
Course Objectives Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives: o Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the OSI reference model o 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 o Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access o Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP o Describe network protocols and how they communicate in a network environment o Describe the function of WANs, the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT, and RIP routing o Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and manage the router start up and configuration Providing a challenging, worthwhile curriculum based on current industry/academic expectations. Specifically and upon successful completion of the Cisco-CCENT course, the students will be able to: o Explore the network o Configure a network operating system o Understand the application layer o Understand the transport layer o Understand the network layer o Design a IP addressing scheme for a network o Design and configure IP subnetting for a network o Configure access control for a network o Define network fundamentals and build simple LANs o Establish Internet connectivity o Manage network device security o Expand small to medium sized networks with WAN connectivity o Describe IPv6 basics Grading Evaluation of student performance is based upon pupil performance objectives relating to course competencies study. The number of competencies mastered and the degree of mastery is translated into appropriate grades consistent with the C-TEC Board of Education policy on grading guidelines, practices, and procedures. In the process of evaluation, instructors obtain several grades for each student within the time frame of the program/course. These grades may include, but are not limited to, performance on tests, quizzes, homework, assignments, special research projects, classroom participation, lab competency mastery and/or improvement and the demonstration of positive employability traits. 2
Projects This course will use hardware, software, and library projects which are designed to give you an opportunity to apply what you are learning and to research particular aspects of networks and networking more deeply than class time alone would allow. Getting Help If you have questions or need to have something explained there are lots of ways to get help. Here are some options, in no particular order: Stop by and see Program Coordinator Send your question via email to Program Coordinator or course instructor Quizzes and Exams There will be quiz at the end of each chapter for this class and a Final Exam. Students passing the CCENT certification within 1 week of the course ending date will receive a grade of 100% on the final exam. Participation/Attendance It is expected each student to participate in class discussion and to engage your fellow students along with the instructor in the activity of learning. Among other things this means that each student will have completed any reading, exercises, projects, etc. that are due. Additional means of measurement is the component of taking attendance at the start of class. Assignments will be turned-in at the start of class on the day they are due. Acceptance any assignment (exercise or project) for partial credit up to one week after the due date. They will be marked down according to how late they are but they will always count for credit. One week or more after the due date for any particular assignment I will not accept it any longer for credit. I am happy to correct work that is older than one week but you won't receive any credit for it. The breakdown for how your grade will be determined is as follows: Quizzes 10% Projects/Labs 30% Participation/Attendance 10% Final Lab Exercise 25% Final Exam/Certification 25% Students must maintain a 70% GPA. Final grades will be assigned based upon the student's accumulated points. Letter grades will be assigned using the following scale: Grading Scale 90-100% - A 80-89% - B 70-79% - C 60-69% - D 59% or below F 3
Credentialing Cisco Certification Exam: CCENT (ICDN1) 100-105 - http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/exams/list/icnd1b.html#~oview The ICND1 focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to implement and support a small switched and routed network. Course Policies Disruptive Behavior Disruptive behavior of any type is NOT permitted and may result in dismissal from the program. Sleeping during class, tardiness to class, excessive talking during class, use of cell phones in class, inappropriate Internet usage, and disrespectful behavior are examples of disruptive behavior. Plagiarism Submitting plagiarized work for an academic requirement is considered academic misconduct. Plagiarism is the representation of another s work or ideas as one s own; it includes the unacknowledged word-for-word use and/or paraphrasing of another person s work, and/or inappropriate unacknowledged use of another person s ideas. Diversity - It is the responsibility of the instructor and the students to foster and maintain a harmonious, non-threatening and non-discriminating environment in the classroom. Therefore, all individuals are to be respected as equal and contributing partners of our society. Attendance: Must maintain at least 90% rate of attendance. You are required to attend all classes. However, you may miss up to 2 classes and still pass the course. Any other absences must be approved by the program supervisor. 4
