Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices

The Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (CCNA Intensive) course provides the
information required to install, configure and troubleshoot Cisco switches and
routers typically found at small to medium network sites. Participants will perform
all basic configuration procedures to build a multi-router internetwork.

Participants will learn to determine when to use a hub, Ethernet switch or router,
protocols, and monitor connectivity status in network environments containing
multiple interconnected Cisco devices. During the extensive hands-on labs,
participants will gain experience using LAN and WAN interfaces for commonly used
routing and routed protocols.

This course helps Participants prepare to successfully pass the Cisco certification
exam #640-801 to become a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).
