CCNA Boot Camp Accelerated

Special Notices

The CCNAX is an accelerated Boot Camp, which condenses 10 days of content into 5 days. As a result the start and finish times will be dependent on delegate skills / experience. Courses will start at 9am but may extend to 7pm.  It is vital you complete all your pre-course reading and video materials to ensure you gain maximum benefit from your 5 day instructor led training.

Overview

The CCNAX combines ICND1, which offers fundamental networking knowledge and ICND2, which will provide an advanced look at troubleshooting and introducing security and wireless topics. Both courses incorporate a large proportion of hands-on lab experience.

This course is intended for the following audience:

• Network Administrator
• Network Engineer
• Network Manager
• Systems Engineer

The secondary audience for this course is as follows:

• Network Designer
• Project Manager

• Access to online e-learning and video preparation materials introducing you to the basics of Networking
• Cisco Authorised Exam prep Flash cards
• Free Pearson Vue Exam Voucher
• Free re-sit on the class if you do not pass* the 640-802 exam

Prerequisites

• This class is based on the traditional ICND1 and ICND2 classes and has been redeveloped to focus on achieving your CCNA efficiently with the view to fully prepare you for the exam whilst minimizing your time out of the office.

• All delegates should have a good understanding of the basics of Routing and Switching technologies – they should be familiar with a PC, understand how to change an IP address on a PC, use the ipconfig command and understand the different types of Ethernet cable.  Candidates should ideally have 6 months – 1 year practical experience in a networking environment.

• In order to be prepared for this intense 5 day class, all delegates must complete pre-course work. 

• Delegates will be provided with pre-course reading two weeks prior to attending the course by email. The success on the course will be enhanced by close attention to the pre-reading materials.  If you have not received your pre-reading material within one week of the start of your course, please contact your Account Manager or the QA Examination Administration team on 44 (0)1793 696273 or info@qa.com.

This class is an intensive learning experience. Complete beginners to Cisco networking should consider attending the following courses to gain their CCNA:

• Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 Version 1.1 (ICND1)
• Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 Version 1.1 (ICND2)
  or
• CCNA Boot Camp (8 day course)

Delegates will learn how to

• Describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking terminology, and internetworking concepts
• Identify the major components of a network system, including clients and servers, network interface cards (NICs), internetworking devices, media, and topologies
• Describe the functions, operations, and primary components of local-area networks (LANs), wide-area networks (WANs), metropolitan-area networks (MANs), storage-area networks (SANs), content networks (CNs), and virtual private networks (VPNs)
• Describe the major network access methods and outline the key features of each
• Describe the functions and operations of switching technologies
• Explain the format and significance of each of the following components to a network system: IP addressing, classes, reserved address space, and subnetting
• Calculate valid subnetwork addresses and mask values so that user/network requirements are met when given an IP address scheme
• Explain the purposes of networking addresses, routing protocols, and routed protocols
• Describe the functions, operations, and primary components of WAN technologies
• Describe the function, operation, and primary components required to provide remote access services
• Use available configuration tools to establish connectivity to the appropriate network device in order to complete the initial device configuration
• Build a functional configuration to support the specified network operational requirements, given a network design
• Use the appropriate show commands to display network operational parameters so that anomalies  are detected 
• Use the appropriate debug commands to monitor network operational parameters so that anomalies are detected
• Explain how bridging and switching operates
• Explain the purpose and operations of the Spanning-Tree Protocol
• Build a functional router configuration to support the specified network operational requirements, given a network design
• Describe the features and operation of static routing
