The eLearning Center for Gatlin Education Services

The CCENT™ online course focuses on providing the skills and knowledge necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network, including configuring a switch, a router, and connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. A student should be able to complete configuration and implementation of a small branch office network under supervision.

In order to prepare students to obtain the CCENT™ certification credential, this program includes Interconnecting Cisco® Network Devices Part 1. Upon successful completion of the CCENT™ Authorized Certification Training program, students should be prepared to sit for the Cisco 64-822® exam.

No other self-paced program is as up-to-date or as complete as this package. This program contains E-learning and a 24/7 mentor to answer any questions you may have and to provide feedback on your performance. In addition, each student will receive an actual Cisco IOS® simulation to provide students with a playground to practice CCENT™. This virtual lab simulator will enable students to interact with routers and switches as if they are real devices.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components and the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model.
• Using the host-to-host packet delivery process, describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and identify switched LAN technology solutions to Ethernet networking issues.
• Describes the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access.
• Describes the reasons for connecting networks with routers and how routed networks transmit data through networks using TCP / IP.
• Describe the function of Wide Area Networks (WANs), the major devices of WANs, and configure PPP encapsulation, static and dynamic routing, PAT and RIP routing.
• Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and managing the routers startup and configuration.
• Successfully complete the Cisco® 640-822 exam.
