• CIS201 - Network Fundamentals - This is the first of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technologies and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA).This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks.  It uses the OSI and TCP layered models to examine the nature and roles of protocols and services at the application, network, data link, and physical layers.  The principles and structure of IP addressing and fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced.  Labs use a "virtual Internet environment" consisting of servers, routers, and switches to allow students to analyze real data within a controlled network environment.  Packet Tracer (PT) simulation software activities help students analyze protocol and network operation along with practicing network design and configuration. At the end of the course, students build simple LAN topologies by applying basic principles of cabling; performing basic configurations of network devices, including routers and switches; and implementing IP addressing schemes
   
• CIS 202 - - Routing Protocols and Concepts - The second of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology, and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of routers, and explains the principles of routing and routed protocols.   Students analyze, configure, verify, and troubleshoot the primary routing protocols RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF and EIGRP.   By the end of this course, students will be able to recognize and correct common routing issues and problems.  Each chapter walks the student through a basic procedural lab, and then presents basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs.   Packet Tracer (PT) virtual networking software activities reinforce new concepts, and allow students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand.)
   
• CIS203 - LAN Switching and Wireless-  The third of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology, and to help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). This course describes the architecture, components, and operation of LAN switching and wireless networking. It explains the principles of LAN switches, switching topologies, switching protocols, wireless LAN devices, wireless LAN topologies, and wireless security.   Students get hands-on experience analyzing, configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting wireless networking devices; switches; and switching protocols such as VLANS, VTP, STP and VLAN tagging. By the end of this course students will be able to recognize and correct common LAN switching and wireless networking issues and problems.  Each chapter walks the student through a basic procedural lab, and then presents basic configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs. Students will reinforce new concepts by accomplishing activities using Packet Tracer (PT) virtual networking software that allows students to model and analyze networking processes.
   

• CIS204 - WAN Technologies - This is the fourth of four courses designed to provide classroom and laboratory experience in current and emerging networking technology and help prepare for certification as a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA). The primary focus of this course is on accessing wide area networks (WAN). The goal is to develop an understanding of various WAN technologies to connect small to medium-sized business networks. Topics covered during this course include: WAN converged applications; Quality of Service (QoS); WAN connectivity using Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay protocol, and Broadband Links (Cable, DSL, VPN); WAN security concepts including types of threats, how to analyze network vulnerabilities, general methods for mitigating common security threats and types of security appliances and applications; Principles of traffic control and access control lists (ACLs); Configuring Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP);  IPv6 addressing concepts; and using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM)  Graphical User Interface  to configure router security and implement IP addressing services; Throughout the course students learn how to detect, troubleshoot, and correct common Enterprise network implementation issues.
   

• CIS205 - CCNP ROUTE - CCNP ROUTE is the fifth level of Cisco Networking Academy courses and one of three courses leading to the Cisco Certified Networking Professional designation.  CCNP ROUTE enhances students' skills necessary for implementing, monitoring, and maintaining routing services in an enterprise network. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments.   Topics covered n the course are EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol), Multi-area OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing protocols; Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) redistribution; secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers; and an introduction to IPv6, IPv6 addressing and routing, OSPFv3, IPv6 tunneling, and IPv4 to IPv6 translation.  This is a lab-intensive course providing students with hands-on experience by performing labs and case studies using Cisco networking devices

  CIS262 - Fundamentals of Wireless LANS - This introductory course is designed for anyone wanting to learn wireless networking with an emphasis on earning the vendor-neutral Certified Wireless Network Administrator (CWNA) certification.  Wireless technology is an important component in modern networking topologies and earning a CWNA certification is a key initial step towards a successful career in the wireless field.  The CWNA certification is the foundation level enterprise Wi-Fi certification for the Certified Wireless Network Professional (CWNP) Program, and the CWNA certification is required for the Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) and Certified Wireless Networking Expert (CWNE) certifications. This course covers Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) topics including: basic wireless principles; wireless technology concepts; wireless networking devices; 802.11 antenna technology; and WLAN Security. This course focuses on introducing students to 802.11 WLAN communication technologies available today.  Along with learning wireless technology terms, concepts, and principles students beginning in the technology will get hands-on experience configuring a variety of WLAN networking devices and topologies.
