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.
ITCC 9002 Cisco CCNA Series (320 hrs) consists of the courses below.
ITCC 1001 Exploration 1- Network Fundamentals (80 hrs)
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. Prerequisites: A+ Network+ certification or
equivalent knowledge of computers and operating systems.
ITCC 1004 Exploration 2-Routing Protocols (80 hrs)
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.
Prerequisites: ITCC 1001.
ITCC 2008 Exploration 3-LAN Switching (80 hrs)
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. Prerequisites: ITCC 1004.
ITCC 2010 Exploration 4-Wide Area Networking (84 hrs)
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. Discuss the special network services
required by converged applications and an introduction to quality
of service (QoS). Prerequisites: ITCC 2008.
Prerequisites: A+ & Network+ certification or equivalent knowledge of computers and operating systems.
