Cuyamaca College

CCNP1 - Cisco Networking Academy

CIS-205 Fall2008 Section:1186

I. Course Description

This is the fifth level of Cisco Networking Academy courses and one of four courses leading to the Cisco Certified Networking Professional designation.  Advanced Routing enhances students' skills necessary for implementing and supporting enterprise-class routing networks. Cisco Networking Academy students continue their experience with scalable network design, routing protocols, and route optimization. The course content covers implementing the EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol, Multi-area OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System), and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing protocols; an explanation of applications that utilize multicast technology and the benefit multicast provides to the user of the applications; and an overview of IPv6, IPv6 addressing and routing, OSPFv3, and IPv4 to IPv6 translation. 

II. ADVISORY Prerequisite

Cisco Academy’s Semester I, II, III, and IV on-line curriculum
 or
Possess a current CCNA certification for any of the following exams: 640-801, 640-802, 640-811, 640-816.

III. Course Goals  

By the end of the course each student will:

·         Master Basic Content: Practical application review of content learned during Semester 1-4. Advancing experience with Scalable Network Design, EIGRP, Multi-Area OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, IP Multicasting, and IPv6.

·         Master Lab Skills: Increasingly sophisticated router configuration (Classless Routing and Route optimization; Multi-area OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, BGP; IP Mulicasting ; IPv6)and network troubleshooting skills

·         Master People Skills: working in teams

By the end of the course, students will demonstrate their understanding of networking by completing the following tasks:

        1.             Pass the Cisco Semester V Final Exam.
        2.             Pass the Cisco Semester V Skills Based Exam
        3.             Complete the Case Study
        4.             Complete the Cisco labs
        5.            Complete Knowledge-based Study Questions

 

iv. OBJECTIVES 

• Review Semester I, II, III, & IV; Explain, in detail, data communications in routed and switched TCP/IP Internetworks.  Build, configure, and troubleshoot TCP/IP LANS and WANS, which includes PC workstations, routers, switches, and all necessary cabling.
   
• Define Variable Length Subnet Masking (VLSM).  Divide a major network into subnets of different sizes using VLSM and route aggregation, summarization, and optimization.   Configure a router using VLSM and route optimization.
   
• Identify the key features of multi-area OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS. Configure a router using each of these interior gateway protocols.
  
   
• Identify the key features of BGP. Configure a router using this exterior gateway protocol.

• Identify the applications that utilize multicast technology and the benefits multicast provides to the user of the applications. Configure a router using different modes of IP Multicasting.

• Describe the concepts of IPv6, IPv6 addressing and routing, OSPFv3, and IPv4 to IPv6 translation. Configure a router to operate OSPF with IPv6, manual IPv6 tunnels, and IPv6 to IPv4 tunnels

VI. Attendance

The Self-paced open entry-open exit program requires students to complete a minimum of 80 hours to meet academic standards.  The 80 hours are divided into a minimum of 48 classroom hours and 32 hours of self study using online resources. Self-paced education places additional responsibility on the student for success. Irregular attendance and lack of participation are key factors in determining poor student performance.   The greater the amount of time and effort applied by the student, the greater the opportunity for success, rapid advancement of knowledge, and advancement through the program. Students will be expected to manage their attendance with the goal of completing at least one Cisco Semester during a Cuyamaca College Semester.  Higher goals of completion are very possible and will be supported.  If you have questions about recommended progress rates, please ask the instructor for guidance.

VI. Dropping the Class

It is the STUDENT’S responsibility to complete the necessary forms to withdraw from the class. All students that are enrolled at the end of the semester must be given a grade. Students who drop but don’t officially withdraw will receive an F.

VII. Assignments

The assignments for this course can be broken in the following groups: 

1.   In-class reading/Tests: Most of the material for this course is available online at the Cisco Network Academy website. The materials should be read before the beginning of class. Students are responsible for all the terms and concepts in the modules that we cover.

2.   Labs: During the course, labs will be used to guide students through the practical application of concepts learned in the chapter content and provide an opportunity to learn skills for configuring Cisco routers and switches.

3.   Study Questions: Each Chapter will have a set of study questions to guide the student in learning key information pertinent to the current semester 5 chapter and review questions from previous chapters and semester relating to the current chapter

4.   Case Study:  The case study is designed to provide a comprehensive application of the topics covered during semester 5.  Students are required to follow a prescribed set of parameters for developing a Local Area Network and applying knowledge and skills learned during each chapter of the course.  The result of the case study is completed network design along with creating an operational network consisting of routers, switches, and computer workstations.

VIII. Evaluation & Grading

Evaluation in this course is designed to give students a maximum feedback as to their progress and to work as a tool to reinforce concepts. 

 Quizzes will be given only after a topic has been completed. The final exams will be comprehensive and all students must pass the finals to pass the course. All students must take the on-line and skills-based final exams to complete the course.

        ·         Copying and/or printing of any test will result in your being dropped from the class. 
·         Printing of the curriculum is not allowed. 
·         You must pass the skills based final to pass the class.
