Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

LAN design, link redundancy using HSRP and VRRP, link aggregation using EtherChannel. Overview and application of protocols STP and RSTP. Practical OSPF and EIGRP routing.
Students will understand common WAN technologies. They will learn how to configure network address translation and port address translation. They will understand WAN technologies PPP, Frame Relay and their configuration. They get overview of network security, traffic filtering and network monitoring. They will learn fundamentals of network troubleshooting.

Design of LANs, link redundancy and aggregation. OSPF and EIGRP routing. This course prepares students to an industrial certification CCNA. This course prepares students to an industrial certification CCNA.

Learning objectives

Students get skills about design and building LANs, link redundancy using HSRP and VRRP, link aggregation based on EtherChannel. Students will configure local networks using managed switches and routers. They will configure OSPF and EIGRP Routing for IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
The second part of the course deals with WAN technologies. In the labs, students get practical skills about NAT and DHCP configuration. They will create serial connection using PPP and understand Frame Relay communication for both IPv4 and IPv6. They will learn how to manage networks and provide network troubleshooting. The course covers two courses of Cisco Networking Academy programme - CCNA3 and CCNA4 Routing and Switching (R&S).

Recommended prerequisites

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Successful completion of the courses CCNA 1 and CCNA 2 version 5 and higher (Routing & Switching).
