    Description
    Focuses on the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in small networks and introduces wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. Covers key switching and routing concepts and functions including VLANs, STP, DHCP, WLANs, IP static routes, and EtherChannel. Students learn how to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches to identify and mitigate LAN security threats using security best practices and resolve common issues with protocols in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. This is one of three classes that prepare students for the CCNA exam. May be offered in a distance-learning format.
