Course Offerings

This is the second part of a two-part course series designed to help individuals advance their networking career and prepare for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) 200-301 certification. The course dives into advanced networking concepts, including wireless LANs, security services, and network automation. Students will explore wireless networking fundamentals, configure and secure wireless LANs, and manage IP access control lists (ACLs) for enhanced network security. The course also covers key security protocols such as switch port security, DHCP snooping, and ARP inspection, along with essential IP services like Network Address Translation (NAT), Quality of Service (QoS), and First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRP). Students will gain insights into LAN, WAN, and cloud network architecture and learn how to implement network automation using tools like Cisco SD-Access, Ansible, and Terraform. By the end of the course, students will have the advanced skills necessary to manage and secure complex networks and will be well-prepared to take the CCNA certification exam and pursue careers in network management, security, and automation.
