Overview

Course Description
This course provides students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in building a reliable Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure within a corporate environment using CISCO routers and managed switches. Practical training will be focused on configuring LAN routers and managed switches. Topics include dynamic routing protocols, router configuration, access control list (ACL) and Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Students will develop practical skills in configuring and troubleshooting OSPF, EIGRP, VLSM and VTP protocols. This course includes Cisco Network Academy CCNA 2 & 3 modules.
