Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 v1.1
The Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) v1.1 course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to implement and support a small switched and routed network. For the purpose of this course, a small network is defined as 1 to 20 hosts that are connected to a single switch, with the switch running a single VLAN (VLAN1). The switch is also connected to a router providing a routed link (Routing Information Protocol [RIP] and default) to a simulated Internet and corporate office.
Objectives
Upon finishing this course, you will be able to:
- Describe how networks function, as well as identify major network components, functions of network components, and the OSI reference model
- Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues that are related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues
- Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access
- Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through using TCP/IP
- Describe the function of WANs and the major devices of WANs, configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, and PAT
- Use the CLI to discover neighbors on the network and manage router startup and configuration
