What will you learn in the CCNA Course?

The course is carefully designed for holistic learning of students and is divided into seven further modules that are made by domain experts, in a way that it covers all the topics of CCNA.

Network Fundamentals

The first module of network fundamentals starts with explaining the role and function of network components which is followed by describing characteristics of network topology architectures and comparing physical interface and cabling types. It consists of other sub-topics like:

• Identify interface and cable issues (collisions, errors, mismatch duplex, and speed)
• Compare TCP to UDP
• Configure and verify IPv4 addressing and prefix
• Compare IPv6 address types
• Verify IP parameters for client OS (Windows, Mac OS, Linux)
• Describe switching concepts

Network Access

The second module talks about the network access and helps you to learn configuring and verifying VLANs (normal range) spanning multiple switches, interswitch connectivity, Layer 2 discovery protocols (Cisco discovery protocol & LLDP), (Layer2/3) Etherchannels (LACP). It also describes the need for basic operations of rapid PVSR+ spanning tree protocol and identifies basic operations. Other topics include:

• Compare Cisco wireless architecture and AP modes
• Describe physical infrastructure connections of WLAN components (AP, WLC, access/trunk ports, and LAG)
• AP & WLC management access connections (Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS, console, and TACACS+/RADIUS)
• Configure the components of a wireless LAN access for client connectivity using GUI only such as WLAN creation, security settings, QoS profiles, and advanced WLAN settings

IP Connectivity

The module for IP connectivity begins with interpreting the components of routing tables and determining how a router makes a forwarding decision by default. The module ends with explaining configuration and verification of IPv4 & IPv6 static routing and single area OSPFv2 along with describing the purpose of the first hop redundancy protocol.

IP Services

The next module for IP services starts with configuration and verification of inside source NAT using static & pools and NTP operating in a client & server mode. It further explains:

• The role of DHCP and DNS within the network
• The function of SNMP in network operations
• The use of syslog features including facilities and levels
• Configuration and verification of DHCP client & relay
• Explains the forwarding per-hop behavior (PHB) for QoS such as classification, marking, queuing, congestion, policing and shaping
• Configuring network devices for remote access using SSH
• Describing the capabilities & function of TFTP/FTP in the network

Security Fundamentals

This module defines key security concepts (threats, vulnerabilities, exploits, and mitigation techniques) and security program elements (user awareness, training and physical access control). It describes:

• Security password policies elements, such as management, complexity, and password alternatives (multi factor authentication, certificates, and biometrics)
• Remote access and site-to-site VPNs and wireless security protocols (WPA, WPA2, and WPA3)
• Configure device access control using local passwords, layer 2 security features (DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, and port security)
• WLAN using WPA2 PSK using GUI; ending with configuration & verification of access control lists

Automation and Programmability

This module explains how automation impacts network management and compares traditional networks with controller-based networking. It describes:

• Controller-based and software defined architectures (overlay, underlay, and fabrics)
• Compares traditional campus device management with Cisco DNA center enabled device management
• Describes characteristics of REST-based APIs (CRUD, HTTP verbs, and data encoding)
• Recognizes the capabilities of configuration management mechanism puppet, chef, and ansible
• Ending with interpreting JSON encoded data
