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)

NOTE: I have not taught this course in a few years but my materials are still available. For more current information visit Gerlinde Brady's web site: http://www.cabrillo.edu/~gbrady/cis83.htm 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 CCNP ROUTE (Advanced Routing)

This course teaches students how to implement, monitor, and maintain routing services in an enterprise network. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN and WAN routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols in IPv4 and IPv6 environments. The course also covers the configuration of secure routing solutions to support branch offices and mobile workers. Comprehensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills.

CIS 186 Implementing Secure Cisco Wide Area Networks (This course is no longer taught is no longer part of CCNP)

NOTE: This course is no longer taught but the materials are still available. This aligns with the obsoleted Implementing Secure Converged WANs (ISCW) 642-825 exam. This course covers advanced skills required to secure and enhance services in enterprise networks for teleworkers and remote sites. It focuses 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 CCNP SWITCH (Multilayer Switching)

This course teaches students how to implement, monitor, and maintain switching in converged enterprise campus networks. Students will learn how to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions. The course also covers the secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice, and video into campus networks. Comprehensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce configuration skills.

CIS 188 CCNP TSHOOT (Troubleshooting)

This course teaches students how to monitor and maintain complex, enterprise routed and switched IP networks. Skills learned include the planning and execution of regular network maintenance, as well as support and troubleshooting using technologybased processes and best practices, based on systematic and industry recognized approaches. Extensive labs emphasize hands-on learning and practice to reinforce troubleshooting techniques. CCNP ROUTE and CCNP SWITCH are both prerequisites for this course.

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

NOTE: I have not taught this course in a few years but my materials are still available. 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.

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
