| Description: |
This course covers
wide area networks (WAN) technologies to connect
small- to medium-sized business networks. It focuses
on Point to Point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay, and
broadband links. Topics include network security,
traffic control and access control lists (ACLs),
Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and network
troubleshooting. IP addressing services Network
Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are covered, and IPv6
is introduced. This is the fourth course in
preparation for Cisco CCNA certification
examination. ARC is a certified Cisco Networking
Academy and all courses are taught by Cisco
Certified Academy Instructors (CCAI). |

Section 3: Learning Outcomes and Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the
student will be able to:
- describe the impact of Voice Over IP and Video Over
IP applications on a network.
- identify and correct common network problems at
layers 1, 2, 3, and 7 using a layered model approach.
- interpret network diagrams.
- describe the components required for network and
Internet communications.
- implement basic switch security measures such as
port security, trunk access, and management VLANs.
- explain the operation and benefits of DHCP and DNS.
- configure, verify, and troubleshoot DHCP and DNS
operations on a router.
- describe current network security threats and
explain how to implement a comprehensive security policy
to mitigate common threats to network devices, hosts,
and applications.
- describe the functions of common security appliances
and applications.
- describe recommended security practices to secure
network devices.
- describe the purpose and types of access control
lists (ACLs).
- configure and apply ACLs based on network filtering
requirements.
- configure and apply an ACLs to limit Telnet and SSH
access to the router using the Security Device Manager
command-line interface (SDM/CLI).
- verify, monitor, and troubleshoot ACLs in a network
environment.
- explain the basic operation of Network Address
Translation (NAT).
- configure NAT for given network requirements using
SDM/CLI.
- troubleshoot NAT issues.
- describe different methods for connecting to a WAN.
- configure and verify a basic WAN serial connection.
- configure and verify a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
connection between Cisco routers.
- configure and verify Frame Relay on Cisco routers.
- troubleshoot WAN implementation issues.
- describe the importance, benefits, role, impact, and
components of VPN technology.
