Description
The Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 course is the first step into Cisco networking. The goal of this course is to provide students with the key skills to be successful during the configuration of all routers and switches.

Students who have attended the ICND Part 1 course will gain competency in the operation, configuration and maintenance of Cisco IOS-based devices and ISR-capable routers. Students will also gain a thorough understanding of TCP/IP in LAN and WAN environments. A crucial element of this course is the coverage of IP subnetting, which is needed for success at all levels of Cisco certification. ICND Part 1 should be considered a prerequisite for entry into ICND Part 2.This course is preparation for both the CCNA and CCENT exams. Students pursuing the CCNA certification should attend parts 1 & 2 of the ICND course.

Skills Taught
    After completing this course, the student should be able to:

  • Perform IPv4 subnet calculations such as determining the subnet and broadcast IDs of a network, calculate available hosts, calculate subnets created, and find the valid range of IP addresses in a subnetwork
  • Learn how to navigate and use the Cisco IOS command line interface to configure and troubleshoot Cisco devices
  • Learn how to use the Security Device Manager on ISRs
  • Configure the following
  • IP routing using static routes and the RIPv2 protocol
  • Serial leased line WAN interfaces
  • DHCP server service on Cisco routers through the SDM
  • NAT and PAT support
  • Management passwords, telnet and SSH access
  • Describe how network technologies operate in terms of the OSI reference model and the TCI/IP stack
  • Describe the function of WANs and the major devices of WANs
  • Use the CLI to discover neighbors on the network and manage router configurations and startup operation

Audience
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 is an essential course for students preparing for the CCNA or CCENT certifications. Students pursuing the CCNA certification should attend parts 1 & 2 of the ICND course. Students pursuing the CCENT certification need only attend part 1 of the ICND curriculum.



Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course. However, a basic understanding of computer systems and network technologies is expected. Students new to computer and network architecture should consider taking the CompTIA N+ course prior to entry into the challenging Cisco curriculum to get the most out of their classroom experience.
