Module Details
Module Indicative Content
Routing protocols and concepts is the second of the four sub-modules preparing students for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) designation. Routing protocols and concepts
introduces student to Local Area Networks (LANs) based on switching and routing techniques. Upon completion of this course, students will have performed tasks related to:
- Static routing
- Dynamic routing
- Distance vector routing protocols (RIPV1, RIPV2)
- Link state routing protocols (EIGRP, OSPF)
- VLSM and CIDR
- Basic network design, configuration, documentation and troubleshooting.
