ICND Course Description
Introductory course in Routing and Switching
This very popular 5 day hands-on introductory course on the installation and
configuration of Cisco routers and LAN switches should be taken by anyone
relatively new to Cisco equipment. Cisco recommends that all CCNA candidates take the ICND course.
Course Content
The Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND 1.0) course presents the
concepts, commands, and practice required to configure Cisco switches and
routers in multi-protocol internetworks. Through lectures, discussions,
demonstrations, exercises, and laboratory projects, students are given
information sufficient to identify and recommend the best Cisco solutions
for small to medium-sized businesses. Students perform all basic
configuration procedures to build a multi-router, multi-group internetwork
that uses LAN and WAN interfaces with the most commonly used routing and
routed protocols. ICND 1.0 provides the installation, configuration, and
troubleshooting information that technical support people require to install
and configure Cisco products.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Determine in which situations a hub, Ethernet switch, or router would be
more appropriately used.
Use Cisco software to identify IP addresses, protocols, and connectivity
status in a network containing multiple interconnected Cisco devices.
Interconnect Cisco switches and routers according to a given network
design
specification.
Configure Cisco switches and routers to support a specified list of
protocols and technologies.
Configure access lists to control access to network devices or segments
and
general network traffic.
Verify that Cisco switches and routers, as well as their configured
network
services and protocols, operate as intended within a given network
specification.
Who Should Attend
Personnel within Cisco customers or channel resellers who are new to
Cisco
products or relatively new to the internetworking industry

Prerequisites
To attend this course, the prospective student must have basic knowledge of
data networking equivalent to the material found in Cisco's Internetworking
Technology Multimedia CD-ROM (ITM). Generally the student should have a
basic understanding of networking concepts and an exposure to IP or IPX
networking. Experience working within a networked environment is
recommended. Specific prerequisites include a basic understanding of the
following:
Commonly used networking terminology and topologies
Fundamental network device roles (for example, hub, bridge, router,
switch)
Internetworking Fundamentals
LAN Protocols
WAN Technologies
Bridging and Switching
Routed Protocols
Routing Protocols
Network Management
Binary and hexadecimal numbering (a plus, but not required)
The OSI internetworking model, including the functions of:
Applications and upper layers
Physical and data link layers
The network layer with path determination
Accessing the Internet or an intranet
Using Windows 95/NT to run multiple applications
