Cisco CCNA/CCNP

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Cisco CCNA/CCNP course is a comprehensive twelve-week program designed to equip students with essential networking knowledge and skills needed for Cisco certifications. The course starts with an introduction to networking fundamentals, covering key concepts such as OSI and TCP/IP models, IP addressing, subnetting, and basic network configurations.

Students progress to more advanced topics, learning about VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, and wireless LANs, focusing on their configuration, management, and troubleshooting. The course emphasizes practical skills with hands-on labs and real-world scenarios to ensure proficiency in configuring and managing network devices like routers and switches.

In the mid-section of the course, students delve into routing protocols, including OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, understanding their operation, configuration, and optimization. They also explore advanced IP services, such as NAT, DHCP, and QoS, and learn to implement network security measures, including access control lists (ACLs) and VPNs, to safeguard network infrastructure.

As the course progresses, students cover wide area networks (WANs) and understand the configuration and troubleshooting of various WAN technologies, including MPLS, Metro Ethernet, and VPNs. The course also addresses network automation and programmability, introducing tools like Python and Ansible for automating network tasks and enhancing network efficiency.

Towards the end, students focus on preparing for the CCNA and CCNP certification exams. This includes intensive review sessions, practice exams, and tips for successfully navigating the certification process. The course concludes with an overview of network design principles, ensuring that students not only understand how to manage networks but also how to design scalable, resilient, and secure network architectures.
