Provided by Boston University Corporate Education Center
Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO) is recommended training for individuals who wish to master fundamental computer networking terms, concepts, and components and apply these as they configure basic network connectivity via serial and LAN networks using PCs, hubs, switches, and routers. The course provides learners with the basic skills and knowledge to configure a Cisco IOS router and switch for network connectivity.
We use Cisco Authorized Curriculum sponsored by Element K, a Cisco Learning Solutions Partner, supplemented with many custom hands-on labs. Our instructors are Cisco authorized and have many years of experience working with Cisco products, both in the field and in the classroom. The Cisco routers and switches that you will be working with are resident in the classroom, and each student will be provided with equipment dedicated to their use for the duration of the course.
Who should attend
Individuals who are interested in learning basic networking concepts, as well as introductory router and switch configuration. This course is one of two courses recommended for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). The other recommended course is CNA102: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND).
