Course Description

Overview:

The Cisco® Solutions: Implementation and Administration (CCNA 200-301) course builds on your existing user-level knowledge and experience with computing and networking to provide you with the knowledge and skills expected of an entry-level network administrator. It also addresses the content described in the exam objectives for the Certified Cisco Network Administrator (CCNA® 200-301). If you are pursuing a Cisco technical certification path, the CCNA 200.301 exam is your first step into the world of Cisco certification.

Course Objectives:

In this course, you will implement and administer networks by using Cisco solutions.

You will:

• Explain basic concepts related to networking.
• Configure switching.
• Configure IP addressing.
• Configure routing.
• Configure wireless connectivity.
• Configure IP network services.
• Explain basic network security concepts and practices.
• Explain the use of automation and programmability in network management tasks.
• Troubleshoot common network issues.

Target Student:

This course is designed for individuals who have end-user computer skills and some level of IT experience or technology aptitude, who are seeking an IT career in supporting Cisco® technologies, and who need training on networking fundamentals, IP connectivity and services, security fundamentals, and the basics of automation and programmability, all in the context of a Cisco environment.

This course is also designed for students who are seeking the Cisco® Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) certification and who want to prepare for CCNA Exam v1.0 (200-301).

Prerequisites:

To ensure your success in this course, you should have experience with computer user skills, including the ability to complete tasks in a Microsoft Windows environment and the ability to search for and access information on the Internet. You can obtain this level of skill and knowledge by taking one of the following Logical Operations courses:

• Introduction to Personal Computers Using Microsoft® Windows® 10
• Using Microsoft® Windows® 10
• Microsoft® Windows® 10: Transition from Windows® 7

You should also have intermediate knowledge of computing and networking concepts. Any type of technology or system administration training or certification, or experience working in an IT environment, is strongly recommended. For instance, other industry certifications such as CompTIA®'s ITF+®, A+®, or Network+® may be especially helpful for students who are preparing for the CCNA 200-301 exam.
