CIS 172 - Cisco Networking II

5.0 Credits
Second of four courses mapping to the CCNA exam. Topics include basic operation, configuration, and troubleshooting of routers and switches; students will configure router and switch operations and protocols such as RIPv1, RIPv2, single-area/multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, inter-VLAN routing, and ACLs. Prerequisite: CIS 171 with a minimum grade of 2.5 or equivalent experience.

Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs)
