Program Overview

The Introduction to Networks course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components, and models of the Internet and other computer networks. The principles and structure of IP addressing, and the fundamentals of Ethernet concepts, media, and operations are introduced to provide a foundation for the curriculum. By the end of the course, students will be able to build simple LANs, perform basic configurations for routers and switches, and implement IP addressing schemes. This course can be followed by the Routing & Switching Essentials course, which covers topics in more depth and teaches learners how to perform basic troubleshooting steps in enterprise branch office networks. All hands-on labs in the course can be completed via Cisco Packet Tracer.
