Si rivolge a chi desidera affrontare l’esame di certificazione per ottenere la qualifica Cisco Certified Network Associate o semplicemente ottenere una preparazione pratica esercitandosi su simulatori capaci di ricreare perfettamente un ambiente reale. Le figure che possono beneficiare dei contenuti di questo corso sono tecnici di rete junior, amministratori di rete, personale help-desk.

Il candidato non deve possedere prerequisiti specifici, ma certamente avere una minima conoscenza di fondamenti di rete (modello OSI, stack TCP/IP, protocolli) e hardware Cisco (router e switch) facilita la comprensione degli argomenti.

Al termine del corso i partecipanti saranno in grado di:

• Configurare e installare dispositivi di rete Cisco quali router e switch (Network Management)
• Diagnosticare e risolvere malfunzionamenti di rete (Network Troubleshooting)
• Analizzare e implementare strategie di base dei sistemi di sicurezza di rete (Network Security)
