Cisco CCNA®: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies

Upon successful completion of this class students will be able to:
Describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking terminology, and internetworking concepts. Identify the major components of a network system, including clients and servers, network interface cards, internetworking devices, media, and topologies. Learn the functions, operations, and primary components of LANs, WANs, MANs, SANs, CNs and VPNs and describe the major network access methods outlining the key features of each. Describe the functions and operations of switching technologies. Explain the format and significance of each of the following components to a network system: IP addressing, classes, reserved address space, and subnetting. Calculate valid subnetwork addresses and mask values so that user/network requirements are met when given an IP address scheme. Explain the purposes of networking addresses, routing protocols, and routed protocols. Learn the functions, operations, and primary components of WAN technologies. Use available configuration tools to establish connectivity to the appropriate network device in order to complete the initial device configuration.
