Introduction:

Thanks to new technologies, networks are becoming more intelligent, programmable and software- driven. Networking Academy courses support this evolution and expose learners to new concepts and hands-on experiences. The following courses are tied to CCNA certification— which is among the most in-demand in the industry:

  • Introduction to Networks: The first course in the CCNA curriculum introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications, and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks – including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals.
  • Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials: The second course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts.
  • Enterprise Security and Automation: The final course in the CCNA series covers the architecture, security, and operation of an enterprise network, along with introducing the new ways in which network engineers interact with programmable infrastructure.

Objectives:

  • Understand Networking Fundamentals
  • Learn IP addressing, subnetting, protocols, and network models (OSI/TCP-IP).
  • Configure and Troubleshoot Cisco Devices
  • Gain hands-on experience with routers, switches, and Cisco IOS commands.
  • Master IP Routing and Switching
  • Configure and manage routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP) and VLANs.
  • Learn Network Security Basics
  • Implement firewalls, Access Control Lists (ACLs), and VPNs to secure networks.
  • Explore Wireless Networking
  • Configure wireless networks, SSIDs, and apply WPA2 security protocols.
  • Understand Network Automation and IPv6
