Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (INTRO 640-821)

Implementation and Operation is one of three major topic categories on the CCNA INTRO 640-821 exam. There are currently 9 CertZone Study Guides that address the items listed under this category. The blueprint item and the CertZone Study Guides that address the item are listed below. You can go directly from this list to the Study Guide by clicking on the Study Guide name.

II. Implementation and Operation

1. Establish communication between a terminal device and the router IOS, and use IOS for system analysis
2. Manipulate system image and device configuration files
3. Perform an initial configuration on a router and save the resultant configuration file
4. Use commands incorporated within IOS to analyze and report network problems
5. Assign IP addresses
6. Describe and install the hardware and software required to be able to communicate via a network
7. Use embedded data link layer functionality to perform network neighbor discovery and analysis from the router
8. Use embedded layer 3 through layer 7 protocols to establish, test, suspend or disconnect connectivity to remote devices from the router console
