INT-2460 Enterprise Networks and Automation

Credits 3
This is the final course in a three-course sequence preparing students for Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. This course introduces students to the design, configuration, security and troubleshooting of Enterprise Networks and the network technologies needed for implementing converged networks to meet the changing needs of today’s Networks. Upon completion of this course students will be able to configure Single-Area Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2), IPv4 Access Control Lists (ACLs), IPv4 and IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT), IP Security (IPSec), Wide Area Network (WAN) and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). They will also be able to implement network monitoring and management using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Quality of Service (QoS), Network Time Protocol (NTP), Syslog, Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) and various networking trends like Software Defined Networking (SDN), cloud, virtualization and network automation. Students successfully completing this course should be prepared for Cisco CCNA certification. This course charges an additional fee. 2 class/2 lab hours.
