Implementing, configuring, administering & troubleshooting Cisco network solutions at a considered pace
Descriptions
Who is this course for
Anyone working within an IT environment who is responsible or involved in supporting and installing Cisco routers and switches. Or anyone who wishes to gain the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) qualification.
The job roles best suited to the material in this course are:
- Entry-level network engineer
- Network administrator
- Network support technician
- Help desk technician
Purpose of the course
Our extended programme is designed to cover all the knowledge that is needed for CCNA Routing & Switching but in addition will run the recommended self-study in an instructor-led envirnment allowing more opportunities to ask questions and gain additional support around the exam and any topics you require.
You will learn how to
Programme Cisco switches and routers using the IOSDesign and troubleshoot IP subnets
Design and assign interfaces to VLANs
Apply routing protocols; RIP; OSPF; EIGRP
Backup and restore configurations and the operating system using a TFTP server
Benefits for you as an individual
Over our standard Cisco course our extended programme will give you the additional benefit of spending far longer hands on with the equipment and gaining a more intimate understanding of setting up these devices and troubleshooting them; as well as more face-to-face time with a industry and Cisco expert to answer any questions you may have.
Benefits for your organisation
The course aims to demystify Cisco configuration and troubleshooting; it covers a wide spread of topics: from configuring the IOS and IP addressing, to setting up VLANs and setting up routing protocols. After the course, the individual will feel confident in configuring a Cisco switch or router in typical situations.
Prerequisites
