Cisco CCNA Course Outline

Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX 200-120), course consisting of ICND1 and ICND2, but with the content merged into a single course. This course teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats, understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a WAN, configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding wide-area network technologies.
