CCNA Certification Training Course

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching is a certification program for entry-level network engineers. The CCNA certification program gave me the confidence to install, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain an organization’s network. With this program, I began a career in IT network installation and configuration. The program provides the enabling skills necessary for this role. I learned to build and maintain IT networks.

The topic covered are:

What is a network?
  • Network models

  • How data flows from one computer to another

  • Network addressing

Ethernet LANs
  • How ethernet networks operate

  • Early Ethernet network devices, including hubs and bridges

  • Today’s Ethernet network devices, including switches and Virtual LANs (VLANs)

Routing basics
  • Layer 2 and 3 addressing

  • Interconnecting different broadcast domains using routers

  • Address resolution

  • How data is sent from one broadcast domain or network to another

IP Addressing
  • Internet Protocol (IP)

  • IP addressing

  • Network masks

  • Working with binary numbers

  • Subnetting

  • Routing data through a network using longest match routing

WAN technologies
  • Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

  • Frame Relay

  • Asynchronous Transfer Mode(ATM)

  • Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)

Transport Layer Protocols
  • User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

  • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Training focuses on skill development through personal instruction and extensive hands-on labs. The labs are provided through the virtual environment. I also accessed high-quality online learning, including interactive videos and audiovisuals.

• Learning goals and course success were best achieved by planning to attend lectures and completing all labs and assessment assignments.

• I was able to remotely access learning resources and the lab environment, allowing course completion online.
