Overview of the course
Before enrolling in this course, it is recommended that you have basic computer literacy, including operating system navigation and internet usage skills, as well as basic knowledge of IP addresses. While there are no formal prerequisites for CCNA certification, it is important to have a strong understanding of the exam topics.
Self-learners often hesitate to re-take exams due to the high cost of £259.99 + VAT. To ensure success on the big day, we offer unlimited practice exam papers taken online under exam conditions. Our first-time pass rate is 91.3%.
The CCNA 200-301 exam is a 2-hour test for certification, covering network fundamentals like access, connectivity, services, security, and automation. The Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) course is recommended for exam preparation.
The Labs section allows you to configure your Cisco network, set up routers and switches, and practice what you learn through practical exercises.
Cisco CCNA Modules
The CCNA curriculum covers installing, configuring, operating, and troubleshooting medium-sized routers and switched networks. It also includes implementing and verifying connections to remote sites in a WAN. The certification covers essential mitigation of security threats, VLANs, Ethernet, access control lists (ACLs), wireless networking concepts, terminology, and performance-based skills. To get the certification, candidates must pass an exam at a local testing centre.
If you want to succeed as a technical person in the networking industry, you need to know Cisco. Cisco has a ridiculously high market share in the router and switch marketplace, with more than an 80% share in some markets. In many geographies and markets around the world, networking equals Cisco.
Introduction to TCP/IP Networking • Fundamentals of Ethernet LANs • Fundamentals of WANs • Fundamentals of IPv4 Addressing and Routing • Fundamentals of TPC/IP Transport and Applications
The module focus on skills like understanding how LANs work, configuring different switch features, verifying that those features work correctly, and finding the root cause of the problem when a feature is not working correctly.
Using the Command-Line Interface • Analyzing Ethernet LAN Switching • Configuring Basic Switch • Configuring and Verifying Switch Interfaces
Virtual LANs (VLAN) have an impact on many parts of a switch’s logic. Frame forwarding happens per VLAN. MAC learning adds MAC table entries, and those entries include the associated VLAN. Even Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), a big focus in Chapter 1 of this course, often happens per-VLAN. This chapter examines how many switch core features work in the context of VLANs.
Implementing Ethernet Virtual LANs • Spanning Tree Protocol Concepts • Spanning Tree Protocol Implementation • VLANs Configuration, Verification and Troubleshooting
An IP address is a numeric identifier assigned to each machine on an IP network. It designates the specific location of a device on the network. An IP address is a software address, not a hardware address – the latter is hard-coded on a network interface card (NIC) and used for finding hosts on a local network. IP addressing was designed to allow hosts on one network to communicate with a host on a different network regardless of the type of LANs the hosts are participating in.
Perspectives on IPv4 Subnetting • Analyzing Classful IPv4 • Analyzing Subnet Masks • Analyzing Existing Subnets
This section first lists the similarities between a switch and router CLI, and then introduces the configuration required to make the router start forwarding IP packets on its interfaces.
Operating Cisco Routers • Configuring IPv4 Addresses and Static Routes • IP Routing in the LAN • Troubleshooting IPv4 Routing
Configure, verify and troubleshoot single area and multiarea OSPFv2 for IPv4 and IPv6(excluding authentication, filtering, manual summarization, redistribution, stub, virtual-link, and LSAs).
Understanding OSPF Concepts • Understanding OSPF for IPv4 • Understanding OSPF for IPv6
This chapter looks at the big concepts, while the second section looks at the specifics of how to write and type IPv6 addresses.
Fundamentals of IP Version 6 • IPv6 Addressing and Subnetting • Implementing IPv6 Addressing on Routers • IPv6 Routing Operation and Troubleshooting
This chapter explains the basics of the TCP/IP transport layer and the TCP/IP application layer. The functions of these higher layers play a big role in real TCP/IP networks, so it helps to have some basic understanding before moving into the rest of the book, where you go deeper into LANs and IP routing.
Introduction to TCP/IP Transport and Applications • Basic IPv4 Access Control Lists • Advanced IPv4 Access Control Lists
In this chapter, you will learn about many aspects of an enterprise network that can be exploited, as well as some ways you can protect them.
Security Architectures • Security Network Devices
