Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX v3.0)

The Cisco CCNA® curriculum includes a third course, Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX), a derivative works course consisting of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1 (ICND1) and Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 2 (ICND2) content in its entirety, but with the content merged into a single course. Overlapping content between ICND1 and ICND2 is eliminated and content is rearranged for the purpose of the course flow. Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX), is a instructor-led training course that teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, connecting to a WAN, and identifying basic security threats. Also covers topics in more depth and teaches learners how to perform basic troubleshooting steps in enterprise branch office networks, preparing learners for Cisco CCNA certification.

The ideal candidate would be someone who has worked in a data network environment (PC support/help desk or network operations/monitoring), and has had hands-on experience, though no formal training, with Cisco IOS devices. This boot camp will serve to review and expand on what the candidate already knows and add to it, the detailed configuration and implementation of Cisco IOS devices.

You Will Learn How To

• Describe network fundamentals and build simple LANs
• Establish Internet connectivity
• Manage network device security
• Describe IPv6 basics
• Troubleshoot VLAN issues, explain how STP works, configure EtherChannel, and understand the idea behind Layer 3 redundancy
• Troubleshoot IP connectivity
• Define the characteristics, functions, and components of a WAN
• Configure and troubleshoot EIGRP in an IPv4 environment, and configure EIGRP for IPv6
