Cisco ICND1 1.1: LAN Addressing
Overview/Description
Subnetworks, also known as subnets, are very common in all but the smallest of network environments. Subnetworks segment the network into smaller divisions that have their own addresses. Each host is represented by a unique IP address, which can be represented in either binary or decimal form for computers and users, respectively. In some cases, some of the bits that are used for the host portion of an IP address are “borrowed” to create the subnet address. The subnet mask defines which part of the IP address represents the network part. This course explains binary numbers and describes how subnets function and how they are computed.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Implementing VLANS and Trunks
Overview/Description
As small networks grow and become more complex, greater functionality and control over network components (delivered through more sophisticated network devices such as switches and routers) becomes critical. Most Cisco hardware platforms implement Cisco IOS Software, including switches and routers. This software enables network services in Cisco products, including carrying the chosen network protocols and functions; controlling access and prohibiting unauthorized network use; and adding interfaces and capability as needed for network growth. You use the command-line interface (CLI) of the Cisco IOS Software to enter the configuration details into the Cisco switches and routers that implement the network requirements of an organization. This course provides a review of the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) structure and the Cisco IOS commands that are used to create a basic router and switch configuration. A VLAN is a group of end stations with a common set of requirements, independent of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, except that it lets you group end stations even when they are not physically located on the same LAN segment. A VLAN also lets you group ports on a switch so that you can limit unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic flooding. Flooded traffic that originates from a particular VLAN floods only to the ports belonging to that VLAN. VLAN trunks with IEEE 802.1Q tagging facilitate interswitch communication with multiple VLANs. Cisco Catalyst switches feature VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to simplify management of VLANs across multiple switches. Understanding the operation of VLANs and the associated protocols is important for configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting VLANs on Cisco access switches. This course also describes VLAN operations and their associated protocols.
Target Audience

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Spanning-Tree Protocol and Inter-VLAN Routing
Overview/Description
Most complex networks include redundant devices to avoid single points of failure. Although a redundant topology eliminates some issues, it can introduce other problems. Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in a switched network. This course identifies the problems that are caused by redundant switched-network topologies and the functionality of STP to prevent these problems. Routing is the process of determining where to send data packets that are destined for addresses outside of the local network. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission and receipt of data packets. For traffic to cross from one VLAN to another, a Layer 3 process is necessary. This course describes the basics of inter-VLAN routing operations, including subinterfaces and router on a stick.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Securing and Troubleshooting the Switched Network
Overview/Description
Security is a major concern, especially in today’s networks, and network administrators must pay close attention to it. Complete network security starts with device-based security on routers and switches. Routers and switches that are internal to an organization often have minimal security configurations. This minimal security renders them targets for malicious attacks. If an attack is launched at Layer 2 on an internal campus device, the rest of the network can be quickly compromised, often without detection. This course discusses security features that exist to protect switches and Layer 2 operations. It is also important to keep in mind that as the number of switch features grows, so does the possibility that things will go wrong. This course also presents recommendations for implementing a functional network. It addresses some of the common reasons that port connectivity, VLAN configuration, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can fail. It also describes the information to look for to identify the source of the problem.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Medium-Sized Routed Network Construction
Overview/Description
Routing is the process by which information moves from one location to another. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission and receipt of these data packets. Routing information takes the form of entries in a routing table, with one entry for each identified route. The router can use a routing protocol to create and maintain the routing table dynamically so that network changes can be accommodated whenever they occur. To effectively manage an IP network, you must understand the operation of dynamic routing protocols and the impact that they have on an IP network. This course describes the operation and limitations of distance vector and link-state routing protocols. Classless routing protocols scale better than classful routing protocols and the main reason why is that they support Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs) and route summarization. VLSMs were developed to allow multiple levels of subnetworked IP addresses within a single network. Protocols that have VLSM support include Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). VLSM is a key technology on large routed networks and understanding the capabilities of VLSM is important when you are planning large networks. This course describes the capabilities of VLSMs.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Scaling the Network with NAT and PAT
Overview/Description
Two Internet scalability challenges are the depletion of registered IP version 4 (IPv4) address space and scaling in routing. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) are mechanisms for conserving registered IPv4 addresses in large networks and simplifying IPv4 address management tasks. NAT and PAT translate IPv4 addresses within private internal networks to legal IPv4 addresses for transport over public external networks, such as the Internet, without requiring a registered subnet address. Incoming traffic is translated back for delivery within the inside network. This translation of IPv4 addresses eliminates the need for host renumbering and allows the same IPv4 address range to be used in multiple intranets. This course describes the features that NAT and PAT offer and shows you how to configure NAT and PAT on Cisco routers.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Transitioning to IPv6
Overview/Description
The ability to scale networks for future demands requires a limitless supply of IP addresses and improved mobility. To cope with the depletion of IP addresses, several short-term solutions were developed. Two short-term solutions are private addresses and Network Address Translation (NAT). Although private addresses with DHCP and NAT have helped to reduce the need for IP addresses, a more general solution was required. IP version 6 (IPv6) satisfies the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing that IPv4 does not satisfy. IPv6 uses some different address types that make IPv6 more efficient than IPv4. This course describes the different types of addresses that IPv6 uses and how to assign these addresses. Transitioning to IPv6 from IPv4 deployments can require various techniques, including an autoconfiguration function. Which transition mechanism you will use depends on the needs of your network. This course describes the different types of transition mechanisms for an IPv6 network.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: VPN and Point-to-Point WAN Connections
Overview/Description
Cisco virtual private network (VPN) solutions provide an Internet-based WAN infrastructure for connecting branch offices, home offices, business partner sites, and remote telecommuters to all or portions of a company network. With cost-effective, high-bandwidth Internet connectivity that is secured by encrypted VPN tunnels, you can reduce WAN bandwidth costs while increasing connectivity speeds. By integrating advanced network intelligence and routing, Cisco VPNs reliably transport complex mission-critical traffic, such as voice and client-server applications, without compromising communications quality or security. This course describes the uses of VPNs for site-to-site and remote-user access and the benefits of VPN implementations and the underlying hardware, software, and protocols that are required to configure a VPN solution are also covered. One of the most common types of WAN connection is the point-to-point connection. Point-to- point connections are used to connect LANs to service provider WANs, and to connect LAN segments within an enterprise network. A LAN-to-WAN point-to-point connection is also referred to as a serial connection or leased-line connection. Wide-area networking services are typically leased from a service provider. Some WAN services operate as Layer 2 connections between your remote locations and are typically provided by a telephone company (telco) provider over its WAN switches. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) emerged as an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP traffic over point-to-point (leased line) serial connections. PPP encapsulation has been carefully designed to retain compatibility with most commonly used supporting hardware. This course describes the operation, configuration, and verification of PPP.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Frame Relay Connections
Overview/Description
Frame Relay is a high-performance WAN protocol that operates at the physical and data link layers of the OSI reference model. It was standardized by the ITU-T. Frame Relay was one of the most extensively used WAN protocols, primarily because it was inexpensive compared to dedicated lines. In addition, configuring user equipment in a Frame Relay network is very simple. This course describes Frame Relay operation, configuration, and troubleshooting. A Frame Relay network offers a few additional benefits that a leased-line implementation does not offer. But with these benefits comes a bit more complexity. The addition of concepts such as Non-broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA), Local Management Interface (LMI), Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Frame Relay maps require that an administrator has a fundamental knowledge of these concepts to better troubleshoot connectivity issues that may arise. This course describes the basic steps that are used to troubleshoot a Frame Relay WAN. How to identify and resolve the most common Frame Relay connectivity issues are also covered.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: LAN Addressing
Overview/Description
Subnetworks, also known as subnets, are very common in all but the smallest of network environments. Subnetworks segment the network into smaller divisions that have their own addresses. Each host is represented by a unique IP address, which can be represented in either binary or decimal form for computers and users, respectively. In some cases, some of the bits that are used for the host portion of an IP address are “borrowed” to create the subnet address. The subnet mask defines which part of the IP address represents the network part. This course explains binary numbers and describes how subnets function and how they are computed.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Implementing VLANS and Trunks
Overview/Description
As small networks grow and become more complex, greater functionality and control over network components (delivered through more sophisticated network devices such as switches and routers) becomes critical. Most Cisco hardware platforms implement Cisco IOS Software, including switches and routers. This software enables network services in Cisco products, including carrying the chosen network protocols and functions; controlling access and prohibiting unauthorized network use; and adding interfaces and capability as needed for network growth. You use the command-line interface (CLI) of the Cisco IOS Software to enter the configuration details into the Cisco switches and routers that implement the network requirements of an organization. This course provides a review of the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) structure and the Cisco IOS commands that are used to create a basic router and switch configuration. A VLAN is a group of end stations with a common set of requirements, independent of their physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, except that it lets you group end stations even when they are not physically located on the same LAN segment. A VLAN also lets you group ports on a switch so that you can limit unicast, multicast, and broadcast traffic flooding. Flooded traffic that originates from a particular VLAN floods only to the ports belonging to that VLAN. VLAN trunks with IEEE 802.1Q tagging facilitate interswitch communication with multiple VLANs. Cisco Catalyst switches feature VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) to simplify management of VLANs across multiple switches. Understanding the operation of VLANs and the associated protocols is important for configuring, verifying, and troubleshooting VLANs on Cisco access switches. This course also describes VLAN operations and their associated protocols.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Spanning-Tree Protocol and Inter-VLAN Routing
Overview/Description
Most complex networks include redundant devices to avoid single points of failure. Although a redundant topology eliminates some issues, it can introduce other problems. Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) is a Layer 2 link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing undesirable loops in a switched network. This course identifies the problems that are caused by redundant switched-network topologies and the functionality of STP to prevent these problems. Routing is the process of determining where to send data packets that are destined for addresses outside of the local network. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission and receipt of data packets. For traffic to cross from one VLAN to another, a Layer 3 process is necessary. This course describes the basics of inter-VLAN routing operations, including subinterfaces and router on a stick.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Securing and Troubleshooting the Switched Network
Overview/Description
Security is a major concern, especially in today’s networks, and network administrators must pay close attention to it. Complete network security starts with device-based security on routers and switches. Routers and switches that are internal to an organization often have minimal security configurations. This minimal security renders them targets for malicious attacks. If an attack is launched at Layer 2 on an internal campus device, the rest of the network can be quickly compromised, often without detection. This course discusses security features that exist to protect switches and Layer 2 operations. It is also important to keep in mind that as the number of switch features grows, so does the possibility that things will go wrong. This course also presents recommendations for implementing a functional network. It addresses some of the common reasons that port connectivity, VLAN configuration, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can fail. It also describes the information to look for to identify the source of the problem.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Medium-Sized Routed Network Construction
Overview/Description
Routing is the process by which information moves from one location to another. Routers gather and maintain routing information to enable the transmission and receipt of these data packets. Routing information takes the form of entries in a routing table, with one entry for each identified route. The router can use a routing protocol to create and maintain the routing table dynamically so that network changes can be accommodated whenever they occur. To effectively manage an IP network, you must understand the operation of dynamic routing protocols and the impact that they have on an IP network. This course describes the operation and limitations of distance vector and link-state routing protocols. Classless routing protocols scale better than classful routing protocols and the main reason why is that they support Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs) and route summarization. VLSMs were developed to allow multiple levels of subnetworked IP addresses within a single network. Protocols that have VLSM support include Routing Information Protocol version 2 (RIPv2), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP). VLSM is a key technology on large routed networks and understanding the capabilities of VLSM is important when you are planning large networks. This course describes the capabilities of VLSMs.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Scaling the Network with NAT and PAT
Overview/Description
Two Internet scalability challenges are the depletion of registered IP version 4 (IPv4) address space and scaling in routing. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) are mechanisms for conserving registered IPv4 addresses in large networks and simplifying IPv4 address management tasks. NAT and PAT translate IPv4 addresses within private internal networks to legal IPv4 addresses for transport over public external networks, such as the Internet, without requiring a registered subnet address. Incoming traffic is translated back for delivery within the inside network. This translation of IPv4 addresses eliminates the need for host renumbering and allows the same IPv4 address range to be used in multiple intranets. This course describes the features that NAT and PAT offer and shows you how to configure NAT and PAT on Cisco routers.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Transitioning to IPv6
Overview/Description
The ability to scale networks for future demands requires a limitless supply of IP addresses and improved mobility. To cope with the depletion of IP addresses, several short-term solutions were developed. Two short-term solutions are private addresses and Network Address Translation (NAT). Although private addresses with DHCP and NAT have helped to reduce the need for IP addresses, a more general solution was required. IP version 6 (IPv6) satisfies the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing that IPv4 does not satisfy. IPv6 uses some different address types that make IPv6 more efficient than IPv4. This course describes the different types of addresses that IPv6 uses and how to assign these addresses. Transitioning to IPv6 from IPv4 deployments can require various techniques, including an autoconfiguration function. Which transition mechanism you will use depends on the needs of your network. This course describes the different types of transition mechanisms for an IPv6 network.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: VPN and Point-to-Point WAN Connections
Overview/Description
Cisco virtual private network (VPN) solutions provide an Internet-based WAN infrastructure for connecting branch offices, home offices, business partner sites, and remote telecommuters to all or portions of a company network. With cost-effective, high-bandwidth Internet connectivity that is secured by encrypted VPN tunnels, you can reduce WAN bandwidth costs while increasing connectivity speeds. By integrating advanced network intelligence and routing, Cisco VPNs reliably transport complex mission-critical traffic, such as voice and client-server applications, without compromising communications quality or security. This course describes the uses of VPNs for site-to-site and remote-user access and the benefits of VPN implementations and the underlying hardware, software, and protocols that are required to configure a VPN solution are also covered. One of the most common types of WAN connection is the point-to-point connection. Point-to- point connections are used to connect LANs to service provider WANs, and to connect LAN segments within an enterprise network. A LAN-to-WAN point-to-point connection is also referred to as a serial connection or leased-line connection. Wide-area networking services are typically leased from a service provider. Some WAN services operate as Layer 2 connections between your remote locations and are typically provided by a telephone company (telco) provider over its WAN switches. Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) emerged as an encapsulation protocol for transporting IP traffic over point-to-point (leased line) serial connections. PPP encapsulation has been carefully designed to retain compatibility with most commonly used supporting hardware. This course describes the operation, configuration, and verification of PPP.

Cisco ICND2 1.1: Frame Relay Connections
Overview/Description
Frame Relay is a high-performance WAN protocol that operates at the physical and data link layers of the OSI reference model. It was standardized by the ITU-T. Frame Relay was one of the most extensively used WAN protocols, primarily because it was inexpensive compared to dedicated lines. In addition, configuring user equipment in a Frame Relay network is very simple. This course describes Frame Relay operation, configuration, and troubleshooting. A Frame Relay network offers a few additional benefits that a leased-line implementation does not offer. But with these benefits comes a bit more complexity. The addition of concepts such as Non-broadcast Multiple Access (NBMA), Local Management Interface (LMI), Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), and Frame Relay maps require that an administrator has a fundamental knowledge of these concepts to better troubleshoot connectivity issues that may arise. This course describes the basic steps that are used to troubleshoot a Frame Relay WAN. How to identify and resolve the most common Frame Relay connectivity issues are also covered.
