Course Description
Formerly: CST C202D. This is the second course in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) series. The courses focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. In addition to learning key switching and routing concepts, students will be able to perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). Hands-on preparation for the CCNA exam is emphasized. ADVISORY: IT C201. Transfer Credit: CSU.
