Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 (ICND1) — A 5 day course
Synopsis
The ICND1 Version 1 course has now been replaced by Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1 Version 2.0 (ICND1)
The ICND Part 1 training 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.
Passing the exam associated with this course results in the award of the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) certification.
This course, along with ICND2 are the recommended training courses for obtaining CCNA certification.
Objectives:
After completing this course, the student will 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
- Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used with a focus on RF wireless access
- Describe 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 neighbours on the network and managing the router's startup and configuration
Suitable For
The ICND1 course is intended for System Engineers who will install, operate and troubleshoot a small branch office Enterprise network. This is an entry level course and is ideal for those individuals new to networking and who are looking to start their Cisco Career Certification accreditation.
Follow on Courses
The following courses are recommended for further study:
ICND2 Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2
On completion of the ICND2 delegates may wish to consider broadening their knowledge in specific technology areas and should consider the courses below:-
IINS - Implementing Cisco IOS Network Security
IUWNE - Implementing Unified Wireless Networking Essentials
ICOMM - Introducing Cisco Voice and Unified Communications Administration
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, delegates are expected to have a good working knowledge of computers (Windows navigation skills, Internet usage skills, and email usage skills) and a basic idea of the OSI networking model. This is recommended but not essential.
Examination
This course is recommended as preparation for exams:
- ICND1 Exam Number 640-822
- CCNA Exam Number 640-802 (This is a composite exam consisting of both ICND1 & ICND2)
Passing the ICND1 (640-822) exam results in the award of the Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician (CCENT) certification.
Recertification
CCENT certifications are valid for three years. To recertify, pass either the ICND1 or ICND2 exam, or pass the current CCNA exam, or pass a CCNA Concentration exam (wireless, security, voice), or pass any 642-XXX professional level or Cisco Specialist exam (excluding Sales Specialist exams), or pass a current CCIE or CCDE written exam.
