Cisco CCNA 1 Networking & Routing Foundations

This is the first part of a two-part course series designed to help individuals build a career in networking and prepare for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 200-301 certification. The course covers essential networking concepts, including an introduction to TCP/IP networking, Ethernet LAN fundamentals, and WANs with IP routing. Students will gain experience in configuring and managing Ethernet LANs, utilizing the command-line interface, and analyzing Ethernet LAN switching. Topics also include implementing VLANs, understanding Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and designing and troubleshooting IPv4 addressing and routing. Students will learn to operate Cisco routers, configure static routes, and troubleshoot IPv4 routing issues. Additionally, the course covers the fundamentals of OSPF and IPv6 addressing, preparing students to work with modern network technologies.

By the end of this course, learners will have a foundation in networking principles and will be prepared to continue with the second part of the series, advancing their skills and preparing for the CCNA certification exam.
