Course Overview
Building upon skills from CISA 1220 and CISA 1120, this course extends the student's knowledge and practical experience with routers and switches with a focus on enterprise switching and wide area networking (WAN) technologies. Topics include virtual local area networks (VLANs), spanning-tree protocol, rapid spanning-tree protocol, virtual trunking protocol, Inter-VLAN routing, network address translation, point-to-point protocol, Frame Relay, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), WAN connectivity options and network troubleshooting. Students will gain hands-on experience with routers and switches in various local area networks, virtual local area networks, and wide area network topologies.
