Course Duration 5 Days
Course Structure Instructor-Led
Course Overview The Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions
(CCNA) v1.0 course gives you a broad range of
fundamental knowledge for all IT careers. Through a
combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study,
you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify
basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The course covers
configuring network components such as switches,
routers, and wireless LAN controllers; managing network
devices; and identifying basic security threats. The
course also gives you a foundation in network
programmability, automation, and software-defined
networking.
The Cisco® Solutions: Implementation and
Administration (CCNA 200-301) course builds on your
existing user-level knowledge and experience with
computing and networking to provide you with the
knowledge and skills expected of an entry-level network
administrator. It also addresses the content described in
the exam objectives for the Certified Cisco Network
Administrator (CCNA® 200-301). If you are pursuing a
Cisco technical certification path, the CCNA 200.301
exam is your first step into the world of Cisco
certification.
