CSCO 2020 - Cisco: CCNA 2 Switching Routing and Wireless Essentials


This course is the second course in the CCNA curriculum.  Using Cisco NetAcademy curriculum, this course focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts.  Students learn key switching and routing concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN.
