Learner Outcomes
This class aims to help individuals achieve a foundational understanding of networking concepts and skills. These are the main learning objectives of the class:- Network Fundamentals: Understand the networking fundamentals, including the OSI model, TCP/IP protocols, IP addressing, and subnetting. Learn how data flows through networks and how devices communicate.
- Network Access: Explore different network access technologies, such as Ethernet, VLANs, and wireless LANs (WLANs). Learn how to configure and troubleshoot network switches and access points.
- IP Connectivity: Master the routing and switching concepts, including routing protocols (e.g., OSPF and EIGRP), routing tables, and how to configure routers and switches to enable IP connectivity within a network.
- IP Services: Gain knowledge of essential IP services like DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and NAT (Network Address Translation). Learn how to configure and troubleshoot these services to ensure proper network operation.
- Network Security: Understand network security principles, including common threats and vulnerabilities. Learn how to implement basic network security measures, such as access control lists (ACLs), firewall rules, and port security.
- Automation and programmability: The training also gives you a foundation in network programmability, automation, and software-defined networking.
Notes
Target Audience:
This class is recommended for junior network administrators. This 200-301 CCNA course is valuable for new IT professionals with at least 1-3 years of experience with networks and experienced network administrators looking to validate their Cisco skills. Key job roles include entry-level network engineer, network administrator, network support technician, and help desk technician.
Occupational Outlook:
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the employment of network and computer systems administrators is projected to grow 2 percent from 2022 to 2032, about as fast as the average for all occupations. About 19,800 openings for network and computer systems administrators are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire. The median annual wage for network and computer systems administrators was $90,520 in May 2022.
Information Technology Continuing Education Certificate:
A certificate of completion for the class will be issued to participants with at least 80% attendance, class participation, and completion of hands-on practice and projects.
Industry Certification:
This training helps you prepare to take the 200-301 Cisco® Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) exam. By passing this one exam, you earn CCNA certification.
Method of Instruction:
Lecture with demonstration, discussion, hands-on exercises, and problem-solving. May have outside assignments.
Evaluation:
Participation in class discussions and completion of skill practices in and outside of the classroom is expected.
