Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
This training course is designed to provide participants with the fundamental concepts and knowledge on how to install, operate, configure, and verify basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This course covers configuring network components such as switches, routers, and wireless LAN controllers; managing network devices; and identifying basic security threats. This will also provide foundation in network programmability, automation and software-defined networking, and prepare participants to take the 200-301 Cisco® Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) exam.
Course Objectives
