Description

Cisco’s CCNA v2.0 accelerates the journey from “plugging in cables” to confidently designing, configuring, and troubleshooting small-to-medium enterprise networks. Through a tightly-woven mix of lecture and lab you’ll install and harden switches, route IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, build resilient Layer-2 topologies, enable secure Internet connectivity, and finish with a look at software-defined networking and Cisco DNA Center automation. The week is deliberately structured so that every lecture immediately rolls into a matching lab, cementing concepts while keeping energy high. By Friday you will have practiced every skill area measured by the 200-301 CCNA exam, while also seeing how those skills map to real-world projects such as bring-ups, migrations, and brown-field troubleshooting.
