Introduction
Cisco Certifications focus on both Routing & Switching across the
disciplines of network support to help you master the Internet. The CCNA
(CISCO Certified Network Associate) Certification course is designed to
prepare students to pass the official CCNA certification.
Requirements
Some basic networking experience. CCNA certification demonstrates the engineer can install, configure, and operate simple LAN, routed WAN, switched networks.
Examples of solutions that a CCNA will be able to offer based on training
and real-world experience include:
Installing and configuring a network
Optimizing WAN through Internet access solutions that reduce bandwidth and
WAN costs using features such as Filtering with Access Lists; Bandwidth on
Demand (BOD), and Dial on Demand Routing (DDR)
Providing remote access by integrating dial-up connectivity with traditional
remote LAN to LAN access, as well as supporting the higher levels of
performance required for new applications such as Internet commerce and
multimedia.
