About This Video
This course will help you jumpstart your career in IT and networking by preparing you to pass the Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching 200-301 exam. You will develop a complete understanding of all the concepts and topics you need to master in order to achieve the most sought-after networking certification today. With its easy-to-understand, structured approach, this course will enable you to master Cisco networking to the CCNA level, and beyond, in no time.
The course begins with an introduction to the study plan and explains how this certification will validate your skills and take your career to the next level. You will then set up the lab, install Cisco Packet Tracer, and learn about the TCP/IP stack and the different OSI layers.
As you advance, you will be taken through all the different OSI layers, including OSI layer 1 - the Physical layer, and OSI layer 2 - the Data-Link layer, and get to grips with subnetting.
By the end of the course, you will not only have gained the knowledge required to pass the exam but also have enhanced the skills to work as a confident network engineer.
Audience
This course is for anyone who wants to pass the Cisco CCNA 200-301 exam and build or advance their career in networking. An IT helpdesk engineer interested in a career in network engineering, network administration, systems administration, or solution architecture would benefit from this course.
This course is also for network engineers who are not Cisco CCNA-certified or have an expired certification, and for IT professionals looking for a comprehensive resource on Cisco networking theory and configuration. Even if you are an experienced professional, this course will help you fill in the gaps in your knowledge and master concepts such as IPv6, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP.
