CATALOG DESCRIPTION (Include specific prerequisites):
Prerequisite: Completion of NETW 122 with a grade of C or better. This is the third of four
courses in the Cisco Networking Academy designed to provide students with a
comprehensive and practical approach to learning the technologies and protocols needed to
design and implement a converged switch network. This course describes the architecture,
components, and operations of routers and switches in a larger and more complex network.
Students learn how to configure routers and switches for advanced functionality. By the end
of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and
resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.
Students will also develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement DHCP and DNS
operations in a network. Instruction includes, but is not limited to, Fast Ethernet, LAN
switching methods, LAN segmentation on routers, and switches. The course explains how to
configure a switch to implement Virtual LANs, VTP, Inter-VLAN routing and Spanning
Tree Protocol in a converged network.
