The CCNA certification indicates a professional level of knowledge and a foundation in basic networking. This program incorporates the objectives for the Cisco CCNA exam version 640-802, focusing on giving you the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small and medium branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implanting network security. A student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision. Upon successful completion of this program, you’ll be prepared to sit for the Cisco 640-802 certification exam.

Prerequisite: To enroll, we recommend that you have experience working in a network environment.

Leaning Objectives:

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, the function of network components, and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
• Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues.
• Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access.
• Understand the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP/IP.
• Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and be able to configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, and PAT and RIP routing.
• Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and manage the router startup and configuration.
• Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
• Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF and EIGRP.
• Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network.
• Successfully complete the Cisco 640-802 exam.

The original program length is six months. If you need more time, you may request a 90-day extension for a fee of $225. Extension requests must be made before your initial six-month access period has expired.
