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.

Describe the purpose of static routes and configure and verify static and default routing.
Describe the functions, characteristics, main features, and operations of the following distance vector routing protocols: Routing Information Protocol (RIPv1 and RIPv2), and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP).
Describe the functions, characteristics, main features, and operations of the following of link-state routing protocols: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF).
Describe the role of dynamic routing protocols and place these protocols in the context of modern network design.
Configure and verify basic and intermediate operations of a router.
Use router show and debug commands to troubleshoot common errors that occur in small routed networks.
