Course Description

The Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA) v2.1 training gives you a broad range of fundamental knowledge for all IT careers. Through a combination of lecture, hands-on labs, and self-study (we cover Cisco’s Self-Study sections in class), you will learn how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, configure network components, such as switches, routers, and wireless local area network (WLAN) controllers (WLCs), manage network devices, and identify basic security threats.

This training also covers the introduction of AI and machine learning (ML) in network operations.

This training helps you prepare to take the 200-301 Cisco® Certified Network Associate (CCNA®) exam. By passing this one exam, you earn CCNA certification. This training also earns you 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
