Aims

Students get skills about design and building LANs and VLANs. Student will configure local networks using managed switches. They will learn configure WiFi networks and APs. The second part of the course deals with WAN technologies. In labs, students get practical skills about NAT and DHCP configuration. They will create serial connection using PPP and understand Frame Relay communication. They will learn how to secure network devices and how to make network troubleshooting. The course covers two courses of Cisco Networking Academy programme - CCNA3 and CCNA4, version Exploration.
