What you will do in this class

In each course, Cisco Networking Academy students will learn technical concepts with the support of interactive media and apply and practice this knowledge through a series of hands-on and simulated activities that reinforce their learning:

Students complete a basic procedural lab, followed by configuration, implementation, and troubleshooting labs.
Cisco Packet Tracer activities allow students to model and analyze routing processes that may be difficult to visualize or understand and practice their skills within simulated networks.
Quizzes, skills assessments, chapter exams, and practice exams provide feedback as students advance through the curriculum.

Skills you will learn

Design, calculate and apply subnet masks in IPv4 and IPv6 networks. Build an Ethernet network using routers and switches. Use Cisco command-line interface (CLI) commands to perform basic router and switch configurations. Utilize common network utilities to verify small network operations and analyze data traffic. Configure and troubleshoot basic operations of a small switched network. Configure and troubleshoot VLANs and inter-VLAN routing. Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot ACLs for IPv4 and IPv6. Learn by doing. It’s faster, easier to remember, and you won’t get bored.

Tools you will use

CISCO1941/K9 Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR-G2)
HWIC-2T Serial WAN Interface Cards
WS-C2960-24TT-L Cisco Catalyst switches
Linksys EA Series routers (2700, 3500, 4500) or equivalent

I loved Cisco! The hands on-learning and interactive experience is unmatched. I’ve learned so much over the last two years, and I can’t wait to use every bit of information into the real world!

My time at JRTI in Cisco Networking.

I came to James Rumsey when I was a junior. It has been a fun and fast 2 years here. I’ve learned a lot and made a lot of new friends. It is an awesome experience to learn in an environment with people with similar career interests and goals. I have made life-long friends and I will forever remember my experience here. Thank you.

I know that I will succeed

Entering the classroom for the first time, I noticed right away that this program was professional. Throughout my first year, I started to gain the knowledge of what the IT field was all about. I realized very quickly, that I wish to continue with a career in IT. Even though what I have experienced so far was challenging, I know that I will succeed with the support from my peers and my instructor.
