Introduction to Networks and Routing and Switching Essentials Course Outlines
Introduction to
Networks
This course introduces
the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet
and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing and
the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to
provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, students
will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and
switches, and implement IP addressing schemes.
Students who complete
Introduction to Networks will be able to perform the following functions:
● Understand and
describe the devices and services used to support communications in data
networks and the Internet
● Understand and
describe the role of protocol layers in data networks
● Understand and
describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes at various layers of
data networks in IPv4 and IPv6 environments
● Design, calculate,
and apply subnet masks and addresses to fulfill given requirements in IPv4 and
IPv6 networks
● Explain fundamental
Ethernet concepts such as media, services, and operations
● Build a simple
Ethernet network using routers and switches
● Use Cisco
command-line interface (CLI) commands to perform basic router and switch
configurations
● Utilize common
network utilities to verify small network operations and analyze data traffic
Routing and
Switching Essentials
This course describes
the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small
network. Students learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic
functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and
troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with RIPv1, RIPng,
single-area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both
IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Students who complete
the Routing and Switching Essentials course will be able to perform the
following functions:
● Understand and
describe basic switching concepts and the operation of Cisco switches
● Understand and
describe the purpose, nature, and operations of a router, routing tables, and
the route lookup process
● Understand and
describe how VLANs create logically separate networks and how routing occurs
between them
● Understand and
describe dynamic routing protocols, distance vector routing protocols, and
link-state routing protocols
● Configure and
troubleshoot static routing and default routing (RIP and RIPng)
● Configure and
troubleshoot an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) network
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot access control lists (ACLs) for IPv4 and IPv6
networks
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IPv4
and IPv6 networks
● Understand, configure, and troubleshoot
Network Address Translation (NAT) operationsScaling Networks and Connecting Networks Course Outlines
Scaling Networks
This course describes
the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in larger
and more complex networks. Students learn how to configure routers and switches
for advanced functionality. By the end of this course, students will be able to
configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with
OSPF, EIGRP, and STP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Students will also develop
the knowledge and skills needed to implement a WLAN in a small-to-medium
network.
Students who complete
the Scaling Networks course will be able to perform the following functions:
● Understand,
configure and troubleshoot enhanced switching technologies such as VLANs, Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus Protocol (PVST+),
and EtherChannel
● Understand, configure,
and troubleshoot first hop redundancy protocols (HSRP) in a switched network
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot wireless routers and wireless clients
● Configure and
troubleshoot routers in a complex routed IPv4 or IPv6 network using single-area
OSPF, multiarea OSPF, and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
● Manage Cisco IOS® Software licensing and
configuration files
Connecting Networks
Students who complete
the Connecting Networks course will be able to perform the following functions:
● Understand and
describe different WAN technologies and their benefits
● Understand and
describe the operations and benefits of virtual private networks (VPNs) and
tunneling
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot serial connections
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot broadband connections
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot tunneling operations
● Understand,
configure, and troubleshoot Network Address Translation (NAT) operations
● Monitor and
troubleshoot network operations using syslog, SNMP, and NetFlow
● Understand and
describe network architectures:
◦ Borderless networks
◦ Data centers and virtualization
◦ Collaboration
