Cisco CCNA Bootcamp: 200-301 Certified in 5 Days

Cisco CCNA (200-301) Bootcamp Overview

This CCNA bootcamp is a five-day, instructor-led path to the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification, the credential most networking careers are built on. Working from the official Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions courseware, you learn to install, operate, configure and verify IPv4 and IPv6 networks, set up switches, routers and wireless LAN controllers, manage network devices, and identify security threats. The course also grounds you in network programmability, automation and software-defined networking, and in the troubleshooting steps that branch office networks demand. You sit the 200-301 exam while you attend.

Who This CCNA Course Is For

CCNA is the entry point into a Cisco networking career, so this camp suits network technicians and support staff moving into a network administration role, system administrators who have picked up the network by default, and career changers who want the certification most job listings ask for by name. Cisco sets no formal prerequisite for 200-301. It does help to arrive with a basic grasp of how networks fit together, since the week moves at pace and covers routing, switching, wireless, services, security and automation in five days.

What You'll Learn in This 200-301 Training

The course follows the six domains Cisco publishes for the current 200-301 exam, in Cisco's own weightings:

• Network Fundamentals (20%): the role of routers, Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches, firewalls, access points, controllers and endpoints; two-tier and three-tier topology architectures; cabling and interface issues; IPv4 subnetting and IPv6 addressing; and wireless principles.
• Network Access (20%): VLANs and trunking, interswitch connectivity, Layer 2 discovery protocols, EtherChannel, Rapid PVST+ spanning tree operation, and wireless architecture including AP and WLC management and WLAN configuration.
• IP Connectivity (25%): the largest domain, covering how routers make forwarding decisions, the routing table, static routing, single-area OSPFv2, and first hop redundancy protocols.
• IP Services (10%): NAT, NTP, DHCP and DNS, SNMP, syslog, QoS forwarding models, remote access with SSH, and TFTP and FTP in the network.
• Security Fundamentals (15%): threats, vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques, AAA concepts, access control lists, Layer 2 security features including DHCP snooping and dynamic ARP inspection, wireless security protocols, and VPN types.
• Automation and Programmability (10%): how automation changes network management, controller-based and software-defined architectures, REST APIs, configuration management tools, and interpreting JSON encoded data.

CCNA Prerequisites and Exam Format

There is no mandatory prerequisite for 200-301, and no other certification is required first. Cisco's own guidance is that candidates typically have around a year of experience implementing and administering Cisco solutions, along with a working knowledge of IP addressing and network fundamentals, but none of that is enforced at booking. The exam runs 120 minutes and is the single exam required to earn CCNA. Passing it also renews any lower level Cisco certification you hold.
