Course Description

Third of a three-course sequence to prepare the student to take the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification exam. Cisco Scaling and Connecting Networks implements the Cisco Academy online curricula, CCNA 5.0, Scaling Networks and Connecting Networks. Students explore WAN technologies such as FrameRelay, PPP, and PPPoE, enhanced switching technologies, Etherchannel, multi-area OSPF and EIGRP, and network monitoring with Syslog, SNMP, and NetFlow. The lecture/lab environment allows the student the opportunity to practice skills learned throughout the term.
