Cisco ICND1 1.1: Switching in LANs
Overview/Description
LANs are a relatively low-cost means of sharing expensive resources. LANs allow multiple users in a fairly small geographic area to exchange files and messages, and to access shared resources such as file servers. LANs have rapidly evolved into support systems that are critical to communications within an organization. Properly configured and managed network devices are important tools for the efficient and safe operation of LANs. Cisco IOS Software is a feature-rich network operating system software that provides network intelligence for business-critical solutions. This course describes the challenges that shared LANs face as they confront the increasing need for bandwidth and speed to satisfy the needs of multiple users. This course also introduces the Cisco IOS Software as well as its basic configuration.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: Optimizing and Troubleshooting Switch Security
Overview/Description
After physical access has been secured, there is growing need to ensure that access to the switch via the console port and the vty ports is secure. In addition, it is important to ensure that unused switch ports do not become a security hole. And as devices are added to LANs to accommodate more users, and more networked software applications require more bandwidth, maintaining an acceptable level of network performance becomes an increasing challenge. There are a number of ways to enhance switched Ethernet LANs to meet the demands of users for performance and availability. This course describes how to secure switch ports as well as several performance-enhancement methods. This course also describes methods for identifying and resolving common switched network issues.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: Routing and Cisco Routers
Overview/Description
Beyond connecting multiple devices in a network, the networks themselves can be connected. In fact, the Internet is a collection of networks that are connected. The concept of connected networks is a common communication infrastructure in large organizations. Connecting networks with diverse devices, architectures, and protocols requires more sophisticated components than simple LANs. Routers are the devices that are used in this more complex networking environment, and a suite of protocols that is known as TCP/IP governs how data is transmitted.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: WAN Technologies
Overview/Description
When sites are located at different geographic locations, a WAN provides interconnections between the sites. There are several types of WANs, including point-to-point leased lines, circuit-switched networks, and packet-switched networks, which are discussed in this course. Routing is the process by which information gets from one location to another. It is important to understand how the various routing protocols determine IP routes. This course describes the features and operation of static routing, default routing, and Routing Information Protocol. As organizations merge, addresses sometimes become limited or addressing conflicts arise. Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) are two protocols that you can use to address these issues and these protocols are also described in this course.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: WAN Encapsulation and RIP Routing
Overview/Description
One of the most common types of WAN connection is the point-to-point connection. A point-to-point connection is also referred to as a serial connection or leased-line connection, because the lines are leased from a carrier and are dedicated for use by the company leasing the lines. Understanding how point-to-point communication links function to provide access to a WAN is important to an overall understanding of how WANs function. This course describes the protocols that are used to encapsulate both data link layer and network layer information over serial links and how to configure them. This course also describes the basic features and operation of RIP, and explains how to enable RIP on an IP network.

Cisco ICND1 1.1: LAN Addressing
Overview/Description
Subnetworks, also known as subnets, are very common in all but the smallest of network environments. Subnetworks segment the network into smaller divisions that have their own addresses. Each host is represented by a unique IP address, which can be represented in either binary or decimal form for computers and users, respectively. In some cases, some of the bits that are used for the host portion of an IP address are “borrowed” to create the subnet address. The subnet mask defines which part of the IP address represents the network part. This course explains binary numbers and describes how subnets function and how they are computed.
