• Days: 5
• Course Code: CIICND
• Booking: Please ring 08450 504 505

Overview

This five-day 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.

Who Should Attend:

·Network technicians new to Cisco products and services

·Network ad administrators responsible for implementing and managing small and medium business networks

·Network support staff who will perform a help desk role in a medium or enterprise-sized company that has an internal network support escalation staff

·Network support staff who will act as network device installers and first-line support in a small business environment

·CCNA candidates

Prerequisites

The delegate should have a working knowledge of the following certain prerequisite skills, which can be gained from completing the

CIINTRO, Introduction of Cisco Networking Technologies

or through work experience.

The participant should have a working knowledge of the following:

•Commonly used networking terms and topologies

•The basic functions of a network protocol
