Lesson Detail:

The Open Systems Interconnect Model (OSI)
This course explains the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model. This model is an industry standard for increased interoperability and breaks network communication into seven distinct layers. This course also explains the purpose and function of each layer and sub-layer in detail.


  • Developing the OSI Reference Model
  • The Physical Layer and the Data Link Layer
  • The Network Layer and the Transport Layer
  • The Session, Presentation, and Application Layers
  • The OSI Model in Operation
  • The Data Encapsulation Process
  • Reversing the Data Encapsulation Process

Hardware and the OSI Reference Model
This course explains the hardware used in Cisco networking. It examines early bus networks and how they have been enhanced and expanded to become the robust networks used today. This course also discusses the hardware components of a network, and token passing topologies.


  • Understanding Early Bus Networks
  • Pushing Distance Limitations with Repeaters
  • Pushing Station Limitations with Bridges
  • Layer 3 Expansion and Routing Protocols
  • The Development of 10BASE-T Wiring
  • Layer 2 Switches
  • Token Passing Topologies

Wide Area Network Protocols
This course provides an overview of wide area networking, including the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay network operation, and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) components.


  • WAN Services
  • Point-to-Point Protocol
  • PPP Authentication
  • ISDN Communication
  • Frame Relay

TCP/IP Technologies
This course provides a detailed explanation of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is the foundation of the Internet and the most widely used protocol suite in the world. This course provides a background and history of TCP/IP, and explains in detail the four layers of the DoD model and the TCP/IP protocol suite.


  • Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Suite
  • Process/Application Layer Protocols
  • Transport Layer Protocols
  • Internet Layer and the Network Interface Layer Protocols
  • IP Addressing
  • IP Classes
  • Subnetting

Understanding Layer 2 Switching Technology
This course provides a detailed explanation of switching technology in relation to Cisco networks. It discusses how switching functions in a Cisco network, and includes discussion on several features and protocols that have been developed by Cisco.


  • Basic Switch Operations
  • Spanning Tree Protocol
  • Cisco LAN Switching Methods
  • Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
  • VLAN Technologies
  • VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)
  • Configuring VLANs

Understanding Layer 3 Routing Technologies
This course provides a detailed explanation of routing technology in relation to Cisco networks. It examines routing activities, algorithms, and protocols, and discusses the similarities and differences between the distance vector and link state protocols, which are widely used routing protocols.


  • Routing Algorithms and Protocols
  • Routing Protocol Goals
  • Routing Protocol Types
  • Routing Metrics
  • Comparing Distance Vector and Link State Routing Protocols
  • Network Discovery and Topology Changes
  • Distance Vector Problems and Remedies
  • Link State Problems and Remedies

Configuring a Cisco Switch
This course discusses the operational design of Cisco routers. It discusses the memory area, types of memory used, and the function of programs stored in the memory region. Router modes and the access each provides are also examined. Additionally, this course explains in detail how to configure a Cisco switch in a switched network. It examines switch startup, configuring the switch, TCP/IP options, and VLANs, and frame tagging and trunk connections.


  • Router Memory Components
  • Types of Configuration Files
  • Understanding Router Modes
  • The Switch Startup Process
  • Configuring the Switch
  • VLAN Communications
  • VLAN Trunking Protocol
  • Configuring VLANs
  • Creating VLANs

Configuring a Cisco Router
This course explains in detail how to configure a Cisco NFLD router with IP addressing. It covers managing configuration files, loading, and copying Cisco software. This course also examines the password types and security levels used on Cisco routers, and describes in detail the steps required to set up a router via the initial setup sequence.


  • Router Elements
  • Router Components
  • Router Status
  • Managing Configuration Files
  • The Running and Startup Configuration Files
  • Router Passwords
  • Router Identification and Banner
  • Initial Configuration of a Cisco Router

Creating and Applying Additional Router Configurations
This course shows users how to configure and monitor PPP, ISDN, and Frame Relay on a Cisco router. It discusses the Cisco router software upgrade process.
