Program Professional Framework

Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)

Program Overview

Enterprise networks remain the backbone of every digital service, from government portals to banking and industrial control systems. This hands-on programme builds the core skills to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot small to medium enterprise networks on Cisco equipment: network fundamentals and IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, switching with VLANs and spanning tree, static and OSPF routing, wireless LAN fundamentals, IP services such as DHCP, NAT and NTP, security fundamentals including access control lists, and an introduction to network automation and programmability. Labs use Cisco IOS command-line practice and simulation.

Learning Outcomes

✓Design an IPv4 subnetting scheme with VLSM and configure IPv4 and IPv6 addressing on routers and switches.
✓Configure VLANs, trunking, inter-VLAN routing and EtherChannel and verify Layer 2 operation including spanning tree.
✓Configure and troubleshoot static routes and single-area OSPFv2 in a multi-router topology.
✓Implement DHCP, NAT, NTP and SNMP services and verify them using IOS show and debug commands.
✓Apply device hardening, port security and standard and extended ACLs to protect network access.
✓Explain controller-based networking and interpret REST API and JSON outputs used in network automation.

Applied Project & Assessment

Applied Project

Participants build and document a simulated branch-and-headquarters network: addressing plan, VLAN and OSPF configuration, DHCP and NAT services, ACL-based security policy and a troubleshooting log for injected faults.

Assessment

Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
