Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices

Prerequisites:
To fully benefit from ICND, you should already possess certain prerequisite skills, which can be gained from completing the Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies - INTRO course or through work experience.

The participant should have a working knowledge of the following:

• Commonly used networking terms and topologies
• The basic functions of a network protocol
• Fundamental network device roles (for example, hub, bridge, router, and switch)
• The Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
• The use of Windows 95/NT/Win2K/XP to run multiple applications
• Accessing the Internet or an intranet
• Binary and hexadecimal numbering

Course Content:
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) is an instructor-led course presented by Cisco Systems, Inc., training partners to their end-user customers. This five-day course focuses on using Cisco Catalyst® switches and Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at small to medium network sites. Upon completion of this training course, students will be able to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices. ICND is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA

Course Objectives:
· After completing this course, students will be able to:
Configure a Catalyst switch for basic operations, given a need for plug-and-play operation
· Configure and troubleshoot Virtual LANs (VLANs), given an operational access layer switch
· Configure and troubleshoot Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), given operational routers
· Configure IP access lists, given a functioning router
· Configure serial interfaces using PPP and High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), given a functioning router
· Configure Frame Relay, given functioning Cisco routers
· Configure DDR between two routers with Basic Rate interface (BRI) or Primary Rate Interface (PRI), given a functioning remote access router and a physical ISDN connection
