Routing Protocols and Concepts by Rick Graziani and Allan Johnson (Cisco Press)

"Routing Protocols and Concepts CCNA 2 Companion Guide is the official supplemental textbook for the CCNA 2 Exploration course of the Cisco Networking Academy Program. Completely revised from the previous edition with new examples and explanations, this textbook includes original material developed by the authors, yet it fully aligns with the CCNA 2 Exploration curriculum. Written by experienced authors who present material in a comprehensive manner--using their own voices and their own examples--this new edition augments student understanding of course material. The new edition incorporates recently improved features to aid instructors and enhance student comprehension. In addition, key features include "How To" quick references for step-by-step tasks; real-world examples and all-new illustrations; concise explanations with a focus on word usage and sentence structure for improved readability; and Packet Tracer activities throughout." - Cisco Press

CIS 81 Fundamentals of Computer Networking (CCNA 1)

This course discusses the fundamental of networking protocols and processes, building an in depth understanding and a foundation in these protocols. This course includes Ethernet, IP, subnetting, ARP, TCP/IP (including TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCP, ICMP), LANs, switching, wireless LANs, packet forwarding, encapsulation, and the interoperability between the protocols.

CIS 82 Routing Theory and Concepts (CCNA 2)

This course discusses the fundamental of routing protocols and packet fowarding. This course includes the concepts of static and dynamic route; along with the comparison of distance vector and link state routing protocols, classful and classless routing protocols. Routing protocols and technologies are dicussed including RIPv1, RIPv2, EIGRP, Single Area OSPF, VLSM and CIDR. Structure and lookup process of the IP routing table is also discussed.

CIS 83 Introduction to Switching and Wide Area Networks (CCNA 3 & 4)

This course discusses is an introduction to switched networks and wide area networks. Switched networks includes VLANs, trunking, 802.1Q, ISL, tnter-VLAN routing, Spanning Tree Protocol and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol. Wide area networks include PPP, HDLC, Frame Relay, NAT/PAT. Other topics include an introduction to broadband, security, and Access Control Lists.

CIS 185 Advanced Routing Protocols (CCNP 1)

This course teaches advanced skills required to implement and support enterprise-class IP routing networks. The update will add multicast routing, expanded coverage of IPv6, and routing protocol authentication with other routing protocol updates; it will also leverage the latest IOS software. This course includes a more in-depth look at EIGRP and Single Area OSPF, along with Multi-Area OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, route summarization, route authentication, redistribution between routing protocols, multicast routing, discard routes, loop avoidance, and IPv6. Structure and lookup process of the IP routing table is also discussed. Approximately 25 percent of the content will change; it will still align with the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 642-901 exam.

CIS 186 Implementing Secure Cisco Wide Area Networks (CCNP 2)

This will become an entirely new course aligning with the Implementing Secure Converged WANs (ISCW) 642-825 exam. This course will teach advanced skills required to secure and enhance services in enterprise networks for teleworkers and remote sites. It will focus on securing remote access, VPN client configuration and other topics including Mulit-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), IPsec, Cisco device hardening, IOS firewall features, and IOS threat defense features.

CIS 187 Mulilayer Switched Networks (CCNP 3)

This course teaches advanced skills required for building enterprise-class switched networks with integrated VoIP and wireless applications. The update will add wireless LANs, basic quality of service (QoS) to support voice, high-availability features, and enhanced security for switches. This course includes a more-depth look at VLANs, trunking, STP, RSPT and inter-VLAN routing, along with multilayer switching, CEF, high availaiblity in switched networks with HSRP, VRRP and GLBP; IP Telephony (VoIP), and securing switched networks. Approximately 25 percent of the content will change; it will still align with the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Network (BCMSN) 642-812 exam.

CIS 188 Optimizing Network Technologies (CCNP 4) - This course will be added winter 2008.

This will become an entirely new course aligning with the Optimizing Converged Cisco Networks (ONT) 642-845 exam. This course will teach advanced skills required to optimize QoS in converged networks supporting voice, wireless, and security applications. This course discusses VoIP implementation, packetized voice, IP Quality of Service (QoS), DiffServ, DSCP, IP packet classification and marking, QoS service class, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) queuing implementations including WFQ, CBWFQ, LLQ; congestion avoidance mechanisms such as RED, WRED, CB-WRED; traffic shaping and policing, WAN link efficiency mechanisms, and VPNs.

CIS 160W (CIS 140) Fundamentals Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

This course discusses the fundamentals of Wireless LANs (WLAN) including wireless fundamentals, 802.11 protocol and standards, 802.11 MAC, medium access mechanisms, DCF operations, RTS/CTS, 802.11 technologies including FHSS, DSSS, OFDM, ERP; 802.11 a, b, g and others; station connectivity and association, access point configuration, antenna systems, security and site surveys.

CS 1 Introduction to Computer Technology

This course surveys the fields of study within computer science and computer technology with a focus on computer literacy in the 21st century. Topics covered include: hardware, software, development systems, the Internet, and networks, including PC and Macintosh.
