A course introducing the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the internet. It describes the use of OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the applications, network, data link, and physical layers and covers the principles and structure of IP addressing and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations. Build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; perform basic configurations of network devices, including routers and switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes. Curriculum for all classes is provided on-line from CISCO for enrolled students. Prerequisites: Familiarity with computers, specifically the Windows environment and the Internet. Knowledge of computer hardware is helpful, but not required. Students must have home Internet access.  80 Hours

CCNA 2: Exploration 2, Routing Protocols and Concepts ITCC 1004

This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routing protocols. Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, and OSPF. Recognize and correct common routing issues and problems. Model and analyze routing processes. 80 Hours, Prerequisites: ITCC 1001

CCNA 3: Exploration 3, LAN Switching and Wireless ITCC 2008

This course helps students develop an in-depth understanding of how switches operate and are implemented in the LAN environment for small and large networks. Detailed explanations of LAN switch operations, VLAN implementation, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), VLAN trunking protocol (VTP), Inter-VLAN routing, and wireless network operations. Analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot VLANs, RSTP, VTP, and wireless networks. Campus network design and Layer 3 switching concepts are introduced.  80 Hours, Prerequisites: ITCC 1001

CCNA 4: Exploration 4, Accessing the WAN ITCC 2010

This course explains the principles of traffic control and access control lists (ACLs) and provides an overview of the services and protocols at the data link layer for wide-area access. Describes user access technologies and devices and discover how to implement and configure Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), DSL, and Frame Relay. WAN security concepts, tunneling, and VPN basics are introduced.
