CCNA 2.0 Bootcamp (CCNA)
5 days Instructor-Led
Course Overview
This five-day course covers the essential topics of ICND 1 and ICND 2 in an intensive Bootcamp format. It teaches students the skills needed to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small-to-medium sized branch office Enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security. This course helps students prepare for ICND1 Exam #640-822 and ICND2 Exam #640-816, or the CCNA Composite Exam # 640-802.
Who will benefit from this course?
This course is intended for students who have general knowledge about local and wide area networking and the underlying protocols such as TCP/IP, who are prepared to learn at a fast pace. The goal is to gain the skills needed to configure, operate, and support small-to-medium sized Cisco networks and is for students working towards CCENT through CCNA certification. Students with no prior knowledge of networking are encouraged to take the ICND 1 and ICND 2 classes individually to learn the CCNA foundational topics at a slower pace.
