Cisco Certified Network Associate ( 640-802 )

Overview & Objectives
This course will lead to a CISCO Certification (CCNA). This is the CISCO: Fundamental of Internetworking and WAN Configuration but with more in-depth information for those of you who are looking for a deeper knowledge base or an additional certification. The CCNA certification (Cisco Certified Network Associate) indicates a foundation in and apprentice knowledge of networking. CCNA certified professionals can install, configure, and operate LAN, WAN, and dial access services for small networks (100 nodes or fewer), including but not limited to use of these protocols: IP, IGRP, Serial, Frame Relay, IP RIP, VLANs, RIP, Ethernet, Access Lists.

Prerequisites

Working knowledge of TCP/IP protocol Suite IPX/SPX protocols Suite, MCSE or CNE or experienced in supporting a LAN environment.

Target Group
System administrators, network engineers, software engineers, system analysts, students, or power-users / PC users who may wish to learn about using the Cisco Router Configuration.
