Description in a broad range of IT environments. In this course students are presented with a series of premium instructional videos and hands-on labs that
teach all the knowledge and skills needed to pass the 200-301 CCNA exam, obtain your CCNA certification, and get on your path to becoming a
rockstar engineer!

GETTING STARTED IN YOUR IT CAREER NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS RELATED TO CISCO NETWORKING

You will begin with gaining insights into becoming a Network Engineer and understanding your career path options, and then you will move into You will learn all of the foundational network concepts found on the CCNA exam. In this section we will review network components such as routers,
understading the overarching IT architectures that every engineer needs to know! switches, firewalls, access-points, endpoints, servers and controllers. We will also cover topologies here as well as physical cabling and important protocols
such as TCP and UDP. To wrap up and complete the network fundamentals module we will discuss operating systems and also the fundamentails of
virtualization!
IT & NETWORK ESSENTIALS
You will dive into the most fundamental and foundational technical concepts to understand information technology and networking systems. We will
cover networking basics, The OSI Model, Ethernet and VLANs, TCP & UDP, Topolgies, cabling systems, network devies, IP addressing, subnetting, and NETWORK ADDRESSING & MODELS
routing and switching! In this section we will thoroughly break down layer 2 and layer 3 addressing with MAC, IPv4 (addressing & subnetting), and IPv6. We will also look at
addressing from the aspect of the Transport layer, how all of this network communication fits into a standard reference model and where we get
these terms called layers.
IP ADDRESSING & SUBNETTING
Here we will deconstruct the worlds of IP Addressing and subnetting providing you with the easiest method for subnetting both Class C and Class B
default networks. After full understanding IPv4 we will also introduce you to the world of IPv6! NETWORK ACCESS
In this section we begin our dive into Cisco IOS configurations with LAN technologies such as VLANs, Trunking, layer 2 discovery protocols, port
aggregation with EtherChannel/LACP, and Spanning-Tree Protocol. We will also look at Cisco Wireless Architectures, WLAN infrastructure, Wireless
ETHERNET, LANS, & SWITCHING LAN Controllers, and WLAN setup and configuration to wrap up the LAN technologies that provide our clients with access to the network!
You will learn all about switching and making sure you understand core switching knoweldge with Ethernet, Spanning-Tree, VLANs, cabling, and
power. In this module you will also learn how to make your own cables for Ethernet!
IP CONNECTIVITY
In this module we will move into configuring our routers and learn all about the core routing related concepts such as routing tables, static routing and
IP ROUTING IN LANS & WANS routing protocols. We will configure routers to route dynamically within the autonomous system with Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OPSFv2) and

NETWORK DIAGRAMMING AND PRESENTING THE SOLUTION

Throughout the FSNE Advanced Training program students will work on planning and
designing the project solution. In order to complete the SQC each student must first create a
throough network diagram and perform a live presentation of the solution that is recorded in
a live setting.

RACK, INSTALL, AND CABLING

Confirm your core knoweldge in connecting devices in an IT rack, connecting the local
console connection and wiping and reloading device configurations. Your knowledge of
cabling for Ethernet is also tested here as you must understand the appropriate types of
cables to use in various scenarios. These are skills that are pertinent in the field and
confirmation of these skills kicks off the FSNP certification process.
