COM2158 - CCNA 2: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials
Course Description
This course focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks, including wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. In this second course in a 3-course CCNA series you’ll perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN. After completing all three CCNA courses, you are ready to take the CCNA Certification.
Required prep: Completion of CCNA 1: Introduction to Networks or equivalent knowledge and experience
