Description

Objective:

The course objective is to prepare learners for the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician certification exam.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the role of each OSI layer when preparing data to be moved across the network
  • Describe the TCP/IP model and compare it to the OSI model
  • Identify enterprise networking architectures including 3-tier architecture and collapsed architecture
  • Understand and apply subnetting techniques and perform class C subnetting in different scenarios
  • Configure remote connectivity to a switch
  • Create IPv6 subnetworks, enable IPv6 unicast routing, assign IPv6 addresses, and verify router interfaces
  • Describe the component parts of a Cisco switch and the physical components of a Cisco ASA 5505 and Cisco 3845 router
  • Troubleshoot interfaces and cabling and configure speed and mdix settings
  • Configure VLANs and assign ports to VLANs
  • Configure interVLAN routing on a layer 3 switch using switched virtual interfaces (SVIs)
  • Configure a router to provide DNS and DHCP services
  • Break down and identify the parts of the IPv4 address
  • Identify the different IPv6 address types
  • Configure IP addresses, set SVIs, and troubleshoot the configuration
  • Verify and troubleshoot the IP address configuration and network connectivity
  • Apply troubleshooting methodologies using a bottom-up, top-down, and divide-and-conquer method that uses the OSI model as a guide
  • Apply switching concepts in a lab environment to demonstrate basic switching functions
  • Configure VLANs for use on multiple switches including trunk links using DTP and VTP, set encapsulation, and define native VLANs
  • Configure port security and demonstrate recovery from a violation
  • Configure dynamic routing protocols using RIP v2 for IPv4 by building a routing table
  • Configure and use a syslog server to store router logs
  • Apply device configuration, configure routing protocols, and configure remote access options
  • Perform image and password recovery as well as do file system management
