Duration: 5 Days
In this course, you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network. You will focus on configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a wide-area network (WAN), configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding WAN technologies, and getting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing.
This is an intensive, extended-hours Boot Camp. Expect to be in class for 12 hours on each of the five Days .
Built for Your Success
It is imperative that you come to class with an established base of foundational networking knowledge to build upon during the five-day Classroom Instruction.
Proven Impact has created a three step, blended learning approach for the CCNA Boot Camp to ensure we provide comprehensive coverage of the materials and maximize the classroom experience:
- Pre-class activity
- Classroom instruction
- Post-class lab practice
The pre-class activity provides a subset of CCNA content designed to give you a firm foundation on which to build your classroom training. We have identified approximately 10 hours of materials and exercises to review prior to class. The pre-class activity is mandatory prior to starting this course. Without the knowledge gained in these activities you will be behind in class.
