NET 171 - Cisco Certification Prep II

3 Credits
Lecture: 2 Lab: 2

Cisco Certification Prep II provides students with a fundamental understanding of network routing and switching. This course focuses on the architecture, components and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Students learn to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches. Additionally, students resolve common issues with Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Access Control Lists (ACLs), Dynamic Host Configuration (DHCP), Network Address Translation (NAT), Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANS), and inter-VLAN routing in Internet Protocol version 4 and 6 (IPv4 and IPv6). The Cisco Curriculum is a collaborative effort between McHenry County College and the Cisco Networking Academy Program. This course offers extensive hands-on laboratory work coupled with web-enhanced curriculum.

Note: This course contains material that is especially challenging and is extremely technical in its content. McHenry County College, in academic partnership with Cisco, Inc., is offering this class as semester two of a four semester series. At the successful completion of all four Cisco classes, students will be prepared to take the Cisco CCNA certification test.
