Presentation
As IT evolves, organisations face a significant skills shortage in managing increasingly complex network infrastructure. Without a strong, recognised foundation, IT teams spend too much time troubleshooting rather than focusing on innovation and business value.
This Cisco CCNA 200-301 course provides a pathway to technical excellence. Quizzes, immersive labs and practical case studies establish comprehensive knowledge, from IP addressing and routing to current technologies: network automation, programmability, cloud management and AI applied to networking, as included in Cisco's official framework.
By the end of the course, you will be fully prepared to take the CCNA 200-301 certification exam, which is included in our offer (see the Certification tab for details). This certification formally validates your ability to build, secure and automate modern network infrastructure.
Oo2 works with Fastlane, an authorised Cisco Platinum centre, to arrange your certification exams. This partnership enables you to schedule and take official exams directly through partner Fastlane centres.
Objectives
By the end of this Cisco CCNA course, you will be able to:
- Identify network components and understand host-to-host communication using OSI/TCP-IP models.
- Configure Cisco switches and routers through IOS to establish LAN/WAN connectivity.
- Deploy complex IPv4 and IPv6 addressing, including subnetting and connectivity troubleshooting.
- Implement VLANs, trunking and inter-VLAN routing.
- Use redundancy and link aggregation protocols: STP, RSTP and EtherChannel.
- Operate dynamic routing with OSPFv2 and manage security mechanisms, including ACLs, NAT and hardening.
- Administer critical IP services such as DHCP and QoS, and wireless access through WLC controllers.
- Understand SDN architectures, including Cisco DNA Center, SD-Access and SD-WAN, and network programmability with REST APIs and Ansible.
- Understand generative AI, machine learning and cloud network management concepts applied to modern infrastructure.
- Prepare for and pass CCNA 200-301 to earn Cisco Certified Network Associate certification.
