Cisco Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions v2.1 (CCNA)
Skip to Scheduled Dates
Course Overview
This training teaches you how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network, configure network components, such as switches, routers, and wireless local area network (LAN) controllers (WLNs), manage network devices, and identify basic security threats. This training also covers the introduction of AI and machine learning (ML) in network operations.
This Learning Path prepares you for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (200-301 CCNA) v1.1 exam. If passed, you earn your CCNA certification.
The course qualifies for 30 Cisco Continuing Education Credits (CE) towards recertification.
