Description: The Cisco Networking Academy® CCNAv7 curriculum is designed for participants who are seeking entry-level jobs in the ICT industry or hope to fulfill prerequisites to pursue more specialized ICT skills. The CCNAv7 curriculum is presented in three courses: Introduction to Networks (ITN), Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials (SRWE), and Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA). These three courses provide integrated and comprehensive coverage of networking topics including: IP routing and switching fundamentals, network security and services, and network programmability and automation, while providing learners extensive opportunities for hands-on practical experience and career skills development.
The Switching, Routing and Wireless Essentials (SRWE) course in the CCNA curriculum focuses on switching technologies and router operations that support small-to-medium business networks and includes wireless local area networks (WLANs) and security concepts. Students learn key switching and routing concepts. They can perform basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identify and mitigate LAN security threats, and configure and secure a basic WLAN.
Student tasks: Students must attend at least 80% of contact sessions in order to be accepted to the final examination.
- Students are responsible to do all exercises, assignments and labs given by instructor in class or at home and submit on time
- Use laptop in class only for learning purpose
- Promptly access to the http://cms.fpt.edu.vn for up-to-date course information
- Students must complete all assignments on the Cisco Networking Academy (https://www.netacad.com/) with a result of at least 75%.
