| Course Objectives |
| Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives: |
| Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the OSI reference model |
| Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues |
| Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access |
| Describe the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP |
| Describe the function of WANs, the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT, and RIP routing |
| Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and manage the router start up and configuration |
| Review how to configure and troubleshoot a small network. |
| Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree. |
| Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network. |
| Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF |
| Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP |
| Determine how to apply ACLs based on network requirements, and to configure, verify, and troubleshoot ACLs on a medium-sized network. |
