The CCNA Laptop Training Solutions add-on certification suite contains everything you need to pass the challenging CCNA certification exam and become familiar with Cisco routing and switching technology. Experienced instructors guide you through each test objective, giving helpful and insightful study tips, emphasizing important points and clarifying difficult-to-understand concepts.

 

The LTS Computer Training CCNA program provides you with the information you need to effectively configure and manage Cisco routers. It covers the theory behind network hardware devices such as routers, bridges and switches and provides instruction on the commands required to configure a Cisco router to support various protocols. The course covers several topics including the OSI Reference Model, Initializing Cisco Routers, Local Area Networking, Working with IP and IPX, Wide Area Networking, Network Security and Configuring IP Routing.

 

Cisco CCNA Curriculum

 

The CCNA program is designed for candidates pursuing a single-exam option for the Cisco Certified Network Associate CCNA certification. The exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices. The exam covers topics on Extending Switched Networks with VLANS, Determining IP Routes, Managing IP traffic with Access Lists, Establishing Point-to-Point connections, and Establishing Frame Relay Connections.

 

The following information provides general guidelines for the content likely to be included on the Introducing Cisco Network Design Exam. However, other related topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam.
