Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX) v1.0 is a 60-hour instructor-led course that provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium-sized network, including connecting to a WAN and implementing network security. The CCNAX course will provide students with the skills necessary to pass the CCENT and CCNA certification exams. Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Describe how networks function, identifying major components, function of network components, and the OSI reference model
• Describe issues related to increasing traffic on an Ethernet LAN and expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree
• Describe the reasons for extending the reach of a LAN and the methods that can be used, with a focus on RF wireless access
• Describe the reasons for connecting networks and connecting multiple IP subnets with routers
• Configure and verify a Cisco router for WAN connections with HDLC and PPP encapsulation, PAT, static routing, and describe the components that make up a VPN solution
• Use the command-line interface to discover neighbors on the network and manage the router startup and configuration
