The Cisco Networking Academyâ„¢ Program, is a comprehensive e-learning program delivering Web-based content, online assessment, student performance tracking, hands-on labs, instructor training and support, and preparation for industry-standard certifications.
Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), is the first step in a Cisco career certification path. The CCNA curriculum is a 280-hour curriculum, divided across four 70-hour courses :
CCNA1 Networking Basics
Upon completion of CCNA1, students have an understanding of networking basics including:
Computer hardware and software, electricity, networking terminology, and protocols.
Network standards .
Local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs),
Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) models
Cabling, cabling tools
Routers, router programming
Ethernet
Internet Protocol (IP) addressing and network standards.
LANs and WANs, Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, Ethernet, and Internet Protocol (IP) addressing
Design and documentation of a basic network and structured cabling
TCP/IP Protocol Suite and IP addressing and subnetting
CCNA Routers and Routing basics
Upon completion of CCNA2, students have an understanding of routers and routing including:
WAN’S and Routers
Introduction to Routers
Router user interfaces, components and configurations
Managing Cisco IOS, Software Basics of IOS versions, naming and software backup
Routing and Routing protocols
Distance Vector Routing protocols—RIP, IGRP
TCP/IP Suite Error and Control Messages
Router Troubleshooting
Intermediate TCP/IP
