| What You will Learn |
|
| This OnlineTraining4u course is designed to help learners prepare and take the Cisco Certified Network Associate exams 640 821: Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies, 640 811: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, and the combined exam, 640 801: Cisco Certified Network Associate. This OnlineTraining4u course explains how to install, configure, and monitor Cisco switches and routers. Learners are taught the functions of each layer in the Open Systems Interconnect Model, LAN protocols and switching methods, IP Addressing, and WAN protocols. Finally, learners are taught how to configure VLANs, establish Point to Point connections, configure ISDN, establish Frame Relay connections, and manage IP traffic with Access Lists. |
