Description
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX) v1.1 is a 60-hour instructor-led course that provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security.
This course is the equivalent of Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 v1.0 and Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 v1.0 together.
The ideal candidate would be someone who has worked in a data network environment (PC support/helpdesk or network operations/monitoring), and has had hands-on experience, though no formal training, with Cisco IOS devices. This boot camp will serve to review and expand on what the candidate already knows and add to it, the detailed configuration and implementation of Cisco IOS devices.
Prospective CCNAX v1.0 students should prepare themselves for course days consisting of at least 10 hours and as long as 12 hours. Homework will be assigned and reviewed daily.
Those new to networking and to Cisco IOS should consider taking the ICND1 and ICND2 classes instead of CCNAX v1.0.
What the Students Get:
- Cisco Authorized course content
- Authorized Cisco CCSI Instructor
- Exam Voucher for Exam 640-802
- Cisco CCNA Certification Library (CCNA Self-Study, exam #640-802) Book by Wendell Odom
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 Goal: Upon completing the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 (ICND1) course, the learner should have the knowledge and skills necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office enterprise network, including configuring a switch and a router, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security. A learner should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 Goal: Upon completing the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2 (ICND2) course, the learner should have the knowledge and skills necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-sized branch office enterprise network, including configuring several switches and routers, connecting to a WAN, and implementing network security. A learner should be ready to participate on a team to implement a small to medium-sized branch office network and to serve on a tier-one help desk or network operating center.
The CCNA curriculum includes a third course, Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX), a derivative works course consisting of ICND1 and ICND2 content in its entirety, but merges the content into a single course.
Objectives
- Merge ICND1 and ICND2 content into a single-course derivative works product.
- Eliminate only overlapping content between ICND1 and ICND2.
- Renumber modules and lessons to create a single, continuous course.
- Preserve the sequence of lessons and labs, so instructors can set the pace through the combined course.
- Achieve all of the learning objectives of the CCNA exam.
