Description

Welcome to this course. In the dynamic technology landscape, staying on top of the latest technology trends is a must, especially if you want to build a career in network administration. Most enterprises use Cisco networking equipment to design and implement their networks. However, some networks outperform networks in other enterprises in terms of performance and meeting new business demands, because they were designed with a visionary approach. Learning Cisco Networking Architecture will validate your knowledge of networking concepts, and this course will help you to do just that. The course begins with an introduction to the study plan and explains how Cisco CCNA will validate your skills and take your career to the next level. You will then set up the lab, install Cisco Packet Tracer, and learn about the TCP/IP stack and the different OSI layers. As you advance, you will be taken through all the different OSI layers, including OSI layer 1 – the Physical layer, and OSI layer 2 – the Data-Link layer, and get to grips with subnetting.In this course, you'll learn:Gain an in-depth understanding of networking using routers and switchesUnderstand the benefits of creating an optimal networkUnderstand layer 2 technology and its various configurations and connectionsCreate and implement IP schemes in an enterprise networkConfigure default, static, and dynamic routingDesign and implement virtual local area networks (VLANs)Design and implement subnetted IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemesAdminister dynamic routing protocols, network security, and automationTroubleshoot issues and keep your network secureGet to grips with various IP services that are essential to every networkStudy the importance of VLANs for security and optimizing the bandwidthDiscover how to troubleshoot networking devices
