ICND1 - Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1 (5085)
In this comprehensive five-day course, you'll develop a practicalunderstanding of the operation of modern TCP/IP networks built with Ciscohardware. As you learn the commands and techniques used to troubleshoot hostconnections and configure Cisco switches and routers, you'll also practicebacking up and restoring configuration files and managing network equipment.
GCA Exclusive!
Our ICND1 course includes several extras at no additional cost:
- An enhanced lab topology, including two routers and one switch, representing a real-world network
- Five extra ICND1 e-Lab credits, good for 30 days, so you can practice and refine your skills
- Kaplan SelfTest's exam prep products (30 days of access from the time you launch the SelfTest software)
- 30 days of access to ICND1 web-based course material
