Introduction to Cisco® Networking Technologies (INTRO)

Length: 4-Day Workshop

In this course, students will learn fundamental computer networking terms, concepts, and components and apply them as they configure basic network connectivity via serial and LAN networks using PCs, a hub, router, and switch.

You will learn to:

• Create a simple, point-to-point network and describe how the basic components of a PC, the OSI model, and basic networking concepts and terminology apply to this type of network
• Create a simple Ethernet network and describe the operations of Ethernet and the components and functions of an Ethernet LAN
• Determine the most appropriate network topology for typical user requirements, list the issues related to shared LANs and the solutions that LAN technology provides, add a hub and a switch to expand an Ethernet LAN, and list ways in which LANs can be optimized
• Define how networks can be connected by routing protocols as well as how data is transmitted via routed networks and test the connectivity between hosts on a routed network
• Construct a topology and network addressing scheme with subnet mask computations, add a default gateway, and predict the behavior of traffic to on-network and off-network IP addresses
• Compare UDP to TCP and explain the relationship of reliable data delivery to the TCP process and observe the functions of UDP and TCP in communicating with sites not on an Ethernet LAN
• Define major WAN multiplexing and access technologies
• List the components of an enterprise network, define its installation and testing processes and how these differ from the installation and testing processes of smaller networks, and complete and verify initial IOS software device configuration
• Use Cisco IOS® commands to accurately determine network operational status and performance; manage operating system image files to maintain an accessible operating system file; manage device configuration files to reduce device downtime; and execute adds, moves and changes
