Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 (CCENT/ICND1)
Price: $1,995
Course Description
Course Length: 40 Hours of Instructor-led, classroom training.
The Cisco CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician) certification validates the skills required for entry-level network support positions, the starting point for many successful careers in networking. CCENT certification is the first step toward achieving CCNA, which covers medium size enterprise branch networks with more complex connections.
The CCENT / ICND1 course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network. The course covers how to configure a switch, a router, and how to connect to a WAN. Also, included in this course is how to appropriately implement network security.
Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites to the CCENT / ICND1 course. However, to have additional success in the ICND1 training program, we recommend the following:
- IP Addressing & Subnetting Knowledge
- CompTIA Network+ Certification
Knowledge and skill to install, operate and troubleshoot a small enterprise branch network, including basic network security.
