Transcription:

CCNA SRM CCNAX v2.0 CCNA Routing & Switching course is the ultimate training program for engineers pursuing the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. Cisco has announced an extensive revamp of its CCNA certification. This course is based on a topology featuring updated Cisco equipment and IOS, including ISR routers. Coverage of troubleshooting has been extended beyond installation to everyday operations, coverage of security has been enhanced, and an introduction to wireless concepts and terminology has also been included. This course offers more compelling lab exercises and includes more time for hands-on practice and labs Overview In this course, you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network. You will focus on configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a wide-area network (WAN), configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding WAN technologies, and getting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing. Description The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows: Basic computer literacy Basic Microsoft Windows navigation skills Basic Internet usage skills Basic e-mail usage skills Course Outline Network fundamentals and how to build simple LANs Establish Internet connectivity Manage network device security IPv6 basics Troubleshoot VLAN issues Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Configure EtherChannel Layer 3 redundancy Troubleshoot IP connectivity Characteristics, functions, and components of a WAN Configure and troubleshoot EIGRP in an IPv4 environment Configure EIGRP for IPv6 Configure, verify, and troubleshoot multiarea OSPF SNMP, syslog, and NetFlow Manage Cisco device configurations, IOS images, and licenses

Target Audience This training course is primarily intended to help candidates achieve their CCNA certification. If you are just beginning your journey as a network engineer, this CCNA training would get you into the world of Cisco networking and let you pass the valuable CCNA certification. This training course will also benefit students looking to obtain the entry-level CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technical) certification, which is covered as a part of the complete CCNA curriculum. CCNP SRM CCNP course is the ultimate training program for engineers pursuing the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) certification. This course would help you to prepare you for the latest ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT exams. Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) validates the ability to plan, implement, verify and troubleshoot local and wide-area enterprise networks and work collaboratively with specialists on advanced security, voice, wireless and video solutions. The CCNP certification is appropriate for those with at least one year of networking experience who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions. Those who achieve CCNP have demonstrated the skills required in enterprise roles such as network technician, support engineer, systems engineer or network engineer. Course Objectives Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives: Plan and document the configuration and verification of routing protocols and their optimization in enterprise networks. Identify the technologies, components, and metrics of EIGRP used to implement and verify EIGRP routing in diverse, large-scale internetworks based on requirements. Identify, analyze, and match OSPF multiarea routing functions and benefits for routing efficiencies in network operations in order to implement and verify OSPF routing in a complex enterprise network. Implement and verify a redistribution solution in a multi-protocol network that uses Cisco IOS features to control path selection and provides a loop-free topology according to a given network design and requirements. Evaluate common network performance issues and identify the tools needed to provide Layer 3 path control that uses Cisco IOS features to control the path. Implement and verify a Layer 3 solution using BGP to connect an enterprise network to a service provider. Analyze campus network designs Implement VLANs in a network campus Implement spanning tree Implement inter-vlan routing in a campus network Implement a highly available network Implement high-availability technologies and techniques using multilayer switches Implement security features in a switched network

Integrate WLANs into a campus network Plan and document the most commonly performed maintenance functions in complex enterprise networks Develop a troubleshooting process to identify and resolve problems in complex enterprise networks Select tools that best support specific troubleshooting and maintenance processes in large, complex enterprise networks Practice maintenance procedures and fault resolution Troubleshoot and maintain integrated, complex enterprise networks Course Description: Prerequisites: The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows: Skills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in Cisco Certified Network Associate Course (CCNA) Working knowledge of the Windows operating system Course Outline Implementing Cisco IP Routing (300-101) 1.0 Network Principles 1.1 Identify Cisco Express Forwarding concepts 1.1.a FIB 1.1.b Adjacency table 1.2 Explain general network challenges 1.2.a Unicast 1.2.b Out-of-order packets 1.2.c Asymmetric routing 1.3 Describe IP operations 1.3.a ICMP Unreachable and Redirects 1.3.b IPv4 and IPv6 fragmentation 1.3.c TTL
