UWIN Pro's Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies presents important networking fundamentals using the Open Systems interconnect (OSI) seven layer model concepts; terminology and technologies are explained and illustrated using text and graphics animation. The course includes online assessments that allow learners to measure their progress throughout the learning experience.

Objective

After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Describe computer hardware basics, binary and hexadecimal number systems, basic networking   terminology, and internetworking concepts
• Identify the major components of a network system, including clients and servers, network   interface cards (NICs), internetworking devices, media, and topologies
• Describe the functions, operations, and primary components of local-area networks (LANs),    wide- area networks (WANs), metropolitan-area networks (MANs), storage-area networks   (SANs), content networks (CNs), and virtual private networks (VPNs)
• Explain the format and significance of each of the following components to a network system: IP   addressing, classes, reserved address space, and subnetting
• Calculate valid subnetwork addresses and mask values so that user/network requirements are   met when given an IP address scheme
• Explain the purposes of networking addresses, routing protocols, and routed protocols. Describe   the functions, operations, and primary components of WAN technologies
