Course Outline
CCNAX: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices: Accelerated v3.0
This is a 5 day, instructor-led course.
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX), is an instructor-led training course that teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, connecting to a WAN, and identifying basic security threats. Also covers topics in more depth and teaches learners how to perform basic troubleshooting steps in enterprise branch office networks, preparing learners for Cisco CCNA certification.
This course teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and troubleshoot basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a WAN, configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding wide-area network technologies, and getting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing.
Key additions to this latest revision include an understanding of Quality of Service (QoS) elements and their applicability, how virtualized and cloud services will interact and impact enterprise networks, and an overview of network programmability with the related controller types and tools that are available to support software defined network architectures. Also included is the understanding the interactions and network functions of firewalls, wireless controllers and access points, along with additional focus on IPv6 and basic network security
A full suite of labs have been developed using the virtual IOS environment with flexible topologies that reinforce concepts with hands-on, guided discovery and challenge labs that align to each lesson module.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will have the skills necessary to:
• Describe network fundamentals and build simple LANs
• Establish Internet connectivity
• Manage and secure network devices
• Operate a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree
• Troubleshoot IP connectivity
• Describe how to configure and troubleshoot EIGRP in an IPv4 environment, and configure EIGRP for IPv6
• Configure and troubleshoot OSPF in an IPv4 environment and configure OSPF for IPv6
• Define characteristics, functions, and components of a WAN
• Describe how device management can be implemented using the traditional and intelligent ways.
• Understand QoS, virtualization and cloud services, and network programmability related to WAN, access and core segments.
Individuals seeking the Cisco CCNA® Routing and Switching certification. The course is also appropriate for pre-sales and post-sales network engineers involved in the installation and support of enterprise branch office networks.
Due to the accelerated nature of this course it is expected that delegates will already possess existing experience working with Cisco Products and should have a strong existing familiarity with the concepts and products covered in the course. In addition, the learner should possess the following skills:
• Basic computer literacy
• Basic PC operating system navigation skills
• Basic Internet usage skills
• Basic IP address knowledge
• Good understanding of network fundamentals
Delegates without this existing experience should consider attending the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 Version 3.0 (ICND1) and Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 Version 3.0 (ICND2) courses instead.
