Description:
Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) v1.0 is a 5-day class that teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring network components, such as switch, router, and Wireless LAN Controller; managing network devices and identifying basic security threats. Today’s job roles are ever-changing. The new CCNA will now cover wireless, an overview of SD-WAN, DNA Center, and Security threats. The goal of the course is to provide learners with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to install, configure, and operate a small to medium-sized network.
Who Should Attend?
Individuals seeking the Cisco CCNA certification, Entry-level network engineers, Network administrators, Network support technicians and Help desk technicians.
