Course Objectives: 
Prepares students for two different Cisco certification exams. After completing the first two courses (Networking for Home and Small Businesses and Working at a Small-to-Medium Business or ISP), a student has the option to take the CCENT™ (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician) exam. CCENT certifies the practical skills required for entry-level IT positions. In addition, this certification demonstrates a student’s aptitude and competence to work in an environment that features Cisco networking devices and software. CCENT certification is an optional first step toward earning the Cisco CCNA industry-standard certification for networking careers. After completing all four CCNA Discovery courses, students will be prepared to take the CCNA certification exam.

COURSE CONTENT
Week Topics Study Materials
1 Networks Supporting the Way We Live  
2 Communicating over the Network data network symbols by creating a simple logical topology.

 

3  Application Layer Functionality and Protocols + Quiz Configure DNS and HTTP services, and then study the packets that result when a web page is requested by typing a URL

 

 

4 OSI Transport Layer+ Quiz "Look inside" packets to see how DNS and HTTP use port numbers.

 

5 OSI Network Layer+ Quiz The replacement of a switch with a router breaks one large broadcast domain into two more manageable ones.

 

6 Addressing the Network - IPv4+ Quiz Visualize unicasts, broadcasts, and multicasts

 

7 Data Link Layer + quiz Accessing the Media, Media Access Control Addressing and Framing Data

 

8  OSI Physical Layer + quiz  Communication Signals,Physical Signaling and Encoding Representing Bits

 

9 Ethernet Build large collision domains to view the effects of collisions on data transmission and network operation.

 

10  Planning and Cabling Networks  Examine the configuration on the routers.

  • View the router configuration.

  • Note the active ports.

  • Connect the devices.

  • Use the proper media type between devices.

  • Verify connectivity

 

11  Configuring and Testing Your Network Configure common settings on a Cisco Router and Cisco Switch. • Configure Cisco router global configuration settings. • Configure Cisco router password access. • Configure Cisco router interfaces. • Save the router configuration file. • Configure a Cisco switch.

 

12 Monitoring and Documenting of Networks Use PT to configure common settings on a Cisco router and Cisco switch. • Configure Cisco router global configuration settings

 

13 Basic Cisco Device Configuration Create a small network that requires connecting network devices and configuring host computers for basic network connectivity.

 

 

14 Configure Host Computers for IP Networking Create a small network that requires connecting network devices and configuring host computers for basic network connectivity. SubnetA and SubnetB are subnets that are currently needed. SubnetC, SubnetD, SubnetE, and SubnetF are anticipated subnets, not yet connected to the network.

• Design the logical lab topology.

• Configure the physical lab topology.

• Configure the logical LAN topology.

• Verify LAN connectivity.
