Cisco Certified Network Associate

The CCNA program teaches students to design, build, and maintain computer networks. Training combines instructor-led, online learning with hands-on laboratory exercises where students apply what they learn in class while working on actual networks. These courses prepare students for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification.

The ACC CCNA program follows the Exploration track and includes 320 hours of instruction, in four courses. Students can purchase the classes individually, or purchase the series for a discounted price. Students enrolling in the Cisco CCNA Series are guaranteed a seat for all four courses. Prerequisites: A+ & Network+ certification or equivalent knowledge of computers and operating systems are recommended.

Networking Fundamentals: A course introducing the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the internet. 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. 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.

Routing Protocols: 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.

LAN Switching: 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
