Hands-On ICND1 - Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1

Course Description

In this Hands-On 5-day course, you'll develop a practical understanding of the operation of modern TCPIP networks built with Cisco hardware. As you learn the commands and techniques used to troubleshoot host connections and configure Cisco switches and routers, you'll also practice backing up and restoring configuration files and managing network equipment.

Students Will Learn

How networks function
Network components and their functions
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model
Binary, decimal, and hexadecimal numbering
Switching theory and operations
Host-to-Host packet delivery process through a switch and through a router
TCPIP network addressing and routing
IP subnetting
Providing Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), and remote access services
How Wireless LANs (WLANs) work, including the latest IEEE 802.11n standard
Introduction to Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS)
Configuration of Cisco Catalyst Switches and Cisco Routers
Using your router as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server andor client and to provide Port Address Translation (PAT) functionality
Network discovery and management using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), Telnet, secure shell (SSH), and Trivial FTP (TFTP)
