VHS Cisco!

Welcome to the Cisco web site. Cisco, global e-learning
program offers students an opportunity to pursue IT curricula through online instructor-led
training and hands-on laboratory exercises. As a result, students can apply classroom learnings
to actual technology challenges, which ultimately prepares tomorrow's workforce for life-long
learning opportunities.
Cisco is a 2-year advanced computer certification course that prepares students for the
Certified Cisco Networking Associate Certification test.. Cisco provides course work for a
complete range of basic through advanced networking concepts--from pulling cable, through such
complex concepts as subnet masking rules and strategies. The format for the classes reflects
the content: interactive lessons are stored primarily on the classroom's own Cisco Web server.
Students are required to pass tests prepared and delivered by Cisco on-line.
Students must pass each Cisco Semester Exam in order to move on to the next semester of
training.

Cisco Semester Descriptions
Semester 1 covers the basics of computer hardware
and software, OSI Model, binary and hexidecimal numbers, bandwidth, LAN and WAN devices, basics
of electricity, cable specifications, termination and installation, basic network topologies,
standards and types (Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI), network design, specifications and
documentation, IP addressing and subnetting, differences between routing and routable protocols,
TCP and UDP. Hands-on labs for making patch cables, RJ-45 jack termination and outlet installation, using
industry standard tools allows students to apply the theories being taught.

Semester 2 covers OSI Model in-depth,
apply TCP/IP addressing, Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System), router commands, basic
network testing, router boot sequence and setup mode, system configuration dialog, IOS naming
and software image backup, TCP/IP protocol suite, routing basics, initial router configuration.
Interior and exterior routing protocols (RIP, IGRP)

Semester 3. In this semester students
will cover the OSI reference model, LAN communications, VLANs, segmentation with switching
architecture, network design methodology, network layer basics, routed and routing protocols,
IP and IPX protocols, IGRP operation, and Access Control Lists (ACL). Cisco routers in netware
networks, network documentation, security, performance, and troubleshooting. Students will
work in groups to complete a network design case study from the customer request for quote (RFQ),
to the design phase, recommended hardware and configurations through presentation to customer.
The case study begins in Semester 3 and continues through the end of Semester 4
