CSCO 2000 - Cisco: CCNA 1 Introduction to Networks


This course is the first course in the CCNA curriculum.  The course introduces the architectures, models, protocols, and networking elements that connect users, devices, applications and data through the Internet and across modern computer networks - including IP addressing and Ethernet fundamentals. By the end of the course, students can build simple local area networks (LAN) that integrate IP addressing schemes, foundational network security, and perform basic configurations for routers and switches.

Credits: 4

Instructional Method Lecture/Lab

General Education Requirement: None
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of MSFT 1745 A+ Computer Maintenance and MSFT 1510 Windows Client Operating System, or instructor approval.

Minimum Student Competencies
Upon completion of CSCO 2000 Cisco: CCNA I – Introduction to Networks, the student will:

  1. explain the advances of modern network technologies
  2. implement initial settings including passwords, IP addressing, and default gateway parameters on a network switch and end devices.
  3. explain how network protocols enable devices to access local and remote network resources.
  4. explain how physical layer protocols, services, and network media support communications across data networks.
  5. calculate numbers between decimal and binary systems.
  6. explain how media access control in the data link layer supports communication across networks.
  7. explain how Ethernet operates in a switched network.
  8. explain how routers use network layer protocols and services to enable end-to-end connectivity.
  9. explain how ARP and ND enable communication on a local area network.
  10. implement initial settings on a router and end devices.
  11. calculate an IPv4 subnetting scheme to efficiently segment your network.
  12. implement an IPv6 addressing scheme.
  13. use various tools to test network connectivity.
  14. compare the operations of transport layer protocols in supporting end-to-end communication.
  15. discuss the operation of application layer protocols in providing support to end-user applications.
  16. configure switches and routers with device hardening features to enhance security.
  17. implement a network design for a small network to include a router, a switch, and end devices.
