Course Description

Formerly: CST C203D. This is the third course in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) curriculum series. It describes the architecture, components, operations, and security to scale for large, complex networks, including wide area network (WAN) technologies. The course emphasizes network security concepts and introduces network virtualization and automation. Students learn how to configure, troubleshoot, and secure enterprise network devices and understand how application programming interfaces (API) and configuration management tools enable network automation. Hands-on preparation for the CCNA exam is emphasized. ADVISORY: IT C202. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Explain concepts and terminology related to enterprise networks, security, and automaton.
2. Given a scenario configure a secure enterprise network.

Course Objectives

• 1. Configure single-area OSPFv2 in both point-to-point and multiaccess networks.
• 2. Explain how to mitigate threats and enhance network security using access control lists and security best practices.
• 3. Implement standard IPv4 ACLs to filter traffic and secure administrative access.
• 4. Configure NAT services on the edge router to provide IPv4 address scalability.
• 5. Explain techniques to provide address scalability and secure remote access for WANs.
• 6. Explain how to optimize, monitor, and troubleshoot scalable network architectures.
• 7. Explain how networking devices implement QoS.
• 8. Implement protocols to manage the network.
• 9. Explain how technologies such as virtualization, software defined networking, and automation affect evolving networks.
