Cisco CCNA

Cisco CCNA

The Cisco CCNA Course includes all of the lessons required to help prepare learners for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Examination. The course is designed to enable individuals that are new to networking technologies to understand the terms, concepts, technologies, and devices commonly used in networking, and then apply that new knowledge to the installation, configuration, and troubleshooting of Cisco switches and routers.
This course will help candidates prepare for the new 640-802 Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Exam. The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking.
CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists. Familiarity with upgrading, administering, and GUI-based PC maintenance tasks is helpful but not essential.
The CCNA Course consists of the following items:
CCNA Course Book 1

CCNA theory guide - over 300 pages crammed with information in an easy to understand format. There are lots of exam and real world tips and advice sections to ensure you don't fall into the many traps that can catch out other engineers when configuring live Cisco equipment (most 'trainers' can never explain this to you because they don't know what happens for real).

The material covers the entire CCNA exam syllabus. Every subject is explained in a way you can easily digest. You will learn everything from ARP to Access-lists and Subnetting to Secondary IP addresses.

Book 1 consists of the following lessons: Internetwork basics for beginners, Ethernet, IEEE, connectors and cables; Router interfaces, cables, setting up a router and understanding the config register; Layer 2 switching, VLANs, Spanning Tree, configuring 1900 and 2950 switches; Binary, hex, IP addressing explained and NAT; Understanding routing including RIP, EIGRP, IGRP and OSPF; TCP/IP including ARP, CDP and ICMP; Basic router security including passwords and access lists; WAN topologies including ISDN, PPP and Frame Relay; and Troubleshooting networks for the exam and the real world.

CCNA Course Book 2

27 hands on labs with step by step walkthroughs. We will explain how the network you are building works. Every lab section has hints and tips so you can not only pass the exam but apply everything you learn to a live Cisco network. Once your confidence grows you are shown two other lab topologies so you aren't stuck with just one type of network.

Book 2 consists of the following lessons: Setting up a home lab and introduction; Changing the config register, basic router commands; Configuring 1900 and 2950 switches including VLANs and trunking; IP addressing, Static, Dynamic and NAT overload (PAT); Static Routers, RIP, RIPv2, EIGRP, IGRP and OSPF; Copy start to TFTP, Traceroute, ARP, PING and CDP; Standard, Extended and Named Access Lists; ISDN, PPP, Frame Relay and Frame Relay sub-interfaces; and OSPF AND Advanced OSPF.

CCNA Cram Guide

An e-book containing 23 pages crammed with the facts and figures you will need to know for the CCNA exam. In order to pass the exam you will need to know port numbers, administrative distances, router commands, subnetting, cable specifications, IEEE references, basic configuration commands, ISDN reference points and a lot more.

CCNA CD Rom Pack

The CCNA CD Rom Pack consists of 5 CD Roms displaying the Live Labs featured in Course Book 2 and a Bonus CD Rom entitled The Easy Way to Subnet. The Easy Way to Subnet will show you how easy it is to perform subnetting calculations and will show you how to answer any subnetting question in ten seconds (with practise). You will be asked about seven subnetting questions in the CCNA exam and you will have them during any technical interview for a Cisco networking job as well.

Your CCNA CD ROMs contain over 59 videos, each with meticulous explanations and step by step walk through so you really understand what it is you are configuring rather than just copying what is done. You benefit from over 5 hours of videos and audio commentary.
