Prerequisites

The participant should have a working knowledge of the following:

  • Commonly used networking terms and topologies
  • The basic functions of a network protocol
  • Fundamental network device roles (for example, hub, bridge, router, and switch)
  • Appropriate cabling used to interconnect Cisco networking devices
  • LAN and WAN topologies and technologies
  • Remote access technologies
  • The Open System Interconnect (OSI) reference model
  • Binary and hexadecimal numbering
  • IP addressing and subnet masks

  • The use of Windows 95/98/NT/2000 to run multiple applications
  • Accessing the Internet or an intranet

      • Course Content

      Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) includes both routing and switching concepts, covering both Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies. This course focuses on using Cisco Catalyst? switches and Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at small to medium network sites. Upon completion of this training course, you will be able to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices.

      Course Objectives

      After completing this course the student should be able to:

      • Use the available configuration tools to establish connectivity to the appropriate network device in order to complete the initial device configuration
      • Execute an Add, Move, or Change so that the network functions in accordance with the new requirement, given a new network requirement
      • Use the command-line interface to accurately determine network operational status and network performance
      • Build a functional access switch configuration to support the specified network operational parameters, given a network design
      • Use Cisco IOS commands to configure VLANs, VTP, IEEE 802.1Q trunking, and ISL trunking, given a functioning access layer switch
      • Use show and debug commands to identify anomalies in VLAN, VTP, ISL trunking, and Spanning-Tree operation, given an operational access layer switch
      • Describe the features and operation of static and dynamic routing, including RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, and OSPF
      • Use show and debug commands to identify anomalies in routing operation, given an operational router
      • Use Cisco IOS commands to configure standard and extended access lists, given a functioning router
      • Use Cisco IOS commands to configure serial interfaces using HDLC and PPP encapsulation for leased line connections, given a functioning router.
