 CCNA Exploration 2
 Chap 1 Review of basic networking, addressing and router
configuration learned in Eagle 1.
 Chap 2 Examines the routing process using routing configuration
and output. Static/Default routing are mastered here.
 Chap 3,4,6,8,10 Compares and contrasts the operation of
the major interior gateway routing protocols and
routing processes
 Chap 5,7,9,11 Devotes a chapter to analyze the individual
routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, OSPF.
 Labs Each chapter walks the student through a basic
procedural lab. At the of each chapter, the student is
presented with a basic configuration, implementation
and troubleshooting/challenge labs.
 Packet Tracer (PT) -PT activities are located throughout the chapters
to reinforce concepts learned at that time. PT also allows students to
model and analyze routing processes that maybe difficult to visualize
or understand.

 Biggest Changes in CCNA2 for Existing
Instructors
 This course is all about routing. RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP,
OSPF and VLSM are in this course
 More troubleshooting practice for students. Students will
NEW
analyze router output constantly throughout the course.
 Using Packet Tracer for network modeling, visualization
and configuration to build IOS skills and protocol NEW
knowledge
 Deeper pedagogical emphasis on the routing table and
how it is built
 The Routing course may come immediately after the
CCNA 1 or after the CCNA 1 and CCNA Switching course;
it is not necessarily the 2nd course in the sequence (local
instructor choice)
