This course provides a comprehensive introduction to networking, covering the installation, configuration, operation, and verification of basic IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Learners will gain hands-on experience configuring network components such as switches, routers, and wireless LAN controllers while also learning how to manage network devices and identify basic security threats.

The training includes an introduction to AI and machine learning in network operations, preparing participants for modern networking challenges. The course consists of five days of instructor-led training and approximately three days of self-paced study. Digital courseware is provided, along with lab access, which remains valid for 60 hours or 90 days, whichever is shorter.

This learning path prepares learners for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (200-301 CCNA) v1.1 exam. Upon passing the exam, participants earn the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification.
