CCNA Routing and Switching CCNA “Routing and Switching”
Course Level: Intermediate

The educational program, consisting of 4 courses, each lasting 70 hours, fully covers network organization issues, starting from basics and ending with advanced applications and services. It provides an opportunity to accumulate practical experience and develop professional skills. The program can be used in educational institutions of various levels: from high school (starting from 9th or 11th grade) and vocational schools to colleges and universities. At the end of each of the 4 courses, the student will receive a certificate of course completion upon successful completion.

The CCNA “Routing and Switching” program consists of four courses recommended to be studied in a specific sequence. After completing two courses, participants will be ready to take the exam for the Cisco CCENT® certificate. After completing all four courses, they can proceed to the exam for the CCNA “Routing and Switching” certificate. This educational program helps prepare for practical work in the enterprise and lays the foundation for a successful career in network technologies. In each course, participants learn basic technological principles through an interactive environment and apply this knowledge by performing a series of practical tasks on real equipment and on a computer network simulator. Participants will start with simple networks and gradually move on to more complex corporate networks.

The CCNA “Routing and Switching” program emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration skills, and the practical application of skills. Multimedia learning resources, including videos, games, and quizzes, utilize various learning styles. Learning can occur at your own pace and leads to an improved understanding of the material through interactive tasks and tests.

New CCENT and Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching certification and training programs have been developed to meet the rapidly changing job market. Due to regular changes in certification exams, participants can obtain higher-level CCNA certificates after obtaining the CCENT certification. The recommended sequence for studying courses within the CCNA “Routing and Switching” program includes “Introduction to Networking Technologies” and “Routing and Switching Basics.” Completing these two courses allows participants to prepare for the CCENT certification exam. Further study of additional courses – “Scaling Networks” and “Connecting Networks” – prepares participants for the CCNA certification.

CCNA R&S “Introduction to Networking Technologies” describes the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. It covers IP addressing principles, basic concepts, and operations in Ethernet networks. After completing this course, participants will be able to create simple local networks, perform basic configurations of routers and switches, and apply IP addressing schemes.

CCNA R&S “Routing and Switching Basics” describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers and switches in a small network. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to configure and troubleshoot router and switch configurations, solve routing problems with RIPv1, RIPng, OSPF for a single area, virtual LANs, and routing between VLANs for both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Understand and describe dynamic routing protocols, vector-distance, and link-state routing protocols. Configure and troubleshoot static and dynamic routing and default routing.

CCNA R&S “Scaling Networks” describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers and switches in larger networks. Participants learn how to configure advanced functionality of routers and switches. Participants also gain knowledge and skills necessary for building a wireless local network in small and medium-sized networks. Understand, configure, and diagnose faults in advanced switching technologies such as VLANs, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus Protocol (PVST +), and EtherChannel.

CCNA R&S “Connecting Networks” discusses global network technologies and network services necessary for converged applications in a complex network. The course allows understanding the criteria for choosing network devices and WAN technologies to meet network requirements. Participants will learn how to configure and troubleshoot faults in network devices, solve common problems with channel-layer protocols. They will also gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement Virtual Private Network (VPN) operations in complex networks.
