LAN Switching, Accessing the WAN (CCNA3+4)

• 13 hrs lectures
• 26 hrs laboratories

Configuration of switches, LAN and VLAN design and building using managed swiches. Overview and usage of protocols STP, RSTP and VTP. Overview and configuration of Wifi access points.Students will understand common WAN technologies. They will learn how to configure network address translation and port address translation. They will understand WAN technologies PPP, Frame Relay and how to configure it. They get overview of network security and creating ACLs. They will learn fundamentals of network troubleshooting.

Design of LANs and VLANs. Configuration of switches. Design and configuration of Wifi networks. This course prepares students to an industrial certification CCNA. This course prepares students to an industrial certification CCNA.

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.

• Computer Communications and Networks (IPK)
• Network Cabling and Routing (CCNA1+CCNA2) (I1C)

Successful completion of the course IC1 at the FIT or the courses CCNA 1 and CCNA 2 at another Cisco Network Academy.
