Course Overview
Building upon concepts from CISA 1120, this course introduces routing and router configuration, explores networking protocols, and applies routing concepts within a lab environment. Topics covered include routing concepts and theory, Cisco operating system management, variable length subnet masking (VLSM), classless inter-domain routing (CIDR), routing protocols, and access control lists (ACLs). Routing protocols covered include Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1, RIPv2), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF). Students will learn how to configure routers, interpret routing tables and troubleshoot connectivity issues. Students will have extensive hands-on experience with routers and switches in a networked lab environment.
