Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices ICND (CCNA)
Days 5 Code ICND
The Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (CCNA) training course is available at our Cardiff training centre in Wales, which is also within easy reach of Newport, Bristol and South Wales
Course Details
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (CCNA) includes both routing and switching concepts, covering both Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies. This course focuses on using Cisco Catalyst/ switches and Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at small to medium network sites. Upon completion of this training course, you will be able to select, connect, configure, and troubleshoot the various Cisco networking devices.
