The Syllabus

Discover the key topics covered in this course:

Module 1: Network Fundamentals

You would learn about:

  • Explain the role and function of network components (routers, switches, endpoints, etc.).
  • Describe characteristics of network topology architectures (point-to-point, mesh, star/hub-and-spoke, etc.).
  • Compare physical interface and cabling types (Ethernet, fiber, copper, etc.).
  • Identify interface and cable issues (collisions, errors, mismatch duplex, and/or speed).
  • Compare TCP to UDP and configure and verify IPv4 addressing and subnetting.
  • Describe the need for private IPv4 addressing and configure and verify IPv6 addressing and prefix.
  • Describe IPv6 address types and verify IP parameters for Client OS (Windows, Mac OS, Linux).
  • Describe wireless principles and explain virtualization fundamentals (server virtualization, containers, VRFs).
  • Describe switching concepts (MAC address table, frame forwarding, etc.).
Module 2: Network Access

You would learn about:

  • Configure and verify VLANs (normal range) spanning multiple switches and configure and verify interswitch connectivity.
  • Configure and verify Layer 2 discovery protocols (Cisco Discovery Protocol, LLDP) and EtherChannel (LACP, PAgP, manual).
  • Describe rapid PVST+ Spanning Tree Protocol and compare Cisco Wireless Architectures and AP modes.
  • Describe physical infrastructure connections of WLAN components (AP, WLC, access/trunk ports, LAG) and AP and WLC management access connections.
  • Configure WLAN components using GUI only (Cisco Wireless Configurations).
Module 3: IP Connectivity

You would learn about:

  • Interpret the components of the routing table and determine how a router makes forwarding decisions.
  • Configure and verify IPv4 and IPv6 static routing, and configure and verify single area OSPFv2.
  • Describe the purpose of the first-hop redundancy protocol.
Module 4: IP Services

You would learn about:

  • Configure and verify inside source NAT using static and pools, and configure and verify NTP operating in client/server mode.
  • Explain DHCP and DNS roles in networking, describe SNMP, syslog, and their use cases.
  • Configure and verify DHCP client and relay and explain forwarding per-hop behavior (PHB) for QoS.
  • Configure network devices for remote access using SSH and describe TFTP/FTP capabilities and functions.
Module 5: Security Fundamentals

You would learn about:

  • Define key security concepts (threats, vulnerabilities, exploits, mitigation techniques).
  • Describe security program elements (user awareness, training, physical access control, etc.).
  • Configure device access control using local passwords and describe the security password policies elements.
  • Describe remote access and site-to-site VPNs and configure and verify access control lists (ACLs) for IPv4 and IPv6.
  • Configure Layer 2 security features (DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, port security).
  • Differentiate authentication, authorization, and accounting concepts and describe wireless security protocols (WPA, WPA2, WPA3).
  • Configure WLAN using WPA2 PSK using the GUI.
Module 6: Automation and Programmability

You would learn about:

  • Explain how automation impacts network management and compare traditional networks with controller-based networking.
  • Describe controller-based and software-defined architectures (overlay, underlay, fabric).
  • Compare traditional campus device management with Cisco DNA Center-enabled device management.
  • Describe characteristics of REST-based APIs (CRUD, HTTP verbs, data encoding) and recognize capabilities of configuration management mechanisms (Puppet, Chef, Ansible).
  • Interpret JSON-encoded data and describe how to use RESTCONF and NETCONF for network device management.
