Course ManagementCourse DescriptionThe CCNA curriculum includes a third course, Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated(CCNAX), a derivative works course consisting of ICND1 and ICND2 content in its entirety, but with thecontent merged into a single course. Overlapping content between ICND1 and ICND2 is eliminated andcontent is rearranged for the purpose of the course flow.This course teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network,including configuring a LAN switch, configuring an IP router, identifying basic security threats,understanding redundant topologies, troubleshooting common network issues, connecting to a WAN,configuring EIGRP and OSPF in both IPv4 and IPv6, understanding wide-area network technologies, andgetting familiar with device management and Cisco licensing. CCNAX v2.0 is augmented by a virtualclassroom presentation, which has additional slides and interactions for instructor use. In addition to theclassic hardware-based lab, Cisco will offer a new set of Cisco Learning Lab Classroom Labs. Learner willencounter more troubleshooting, and more lab time than with the previous version of CCNAX.Full Title of CourseInterconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: AcceleratedCourse AcronymCCNAXCourse Version Number2.0New Course?NoReplaces:Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated v1.1CurriculaThe course is used in the following curricula, certifications, or specializations:Cisco CCENT Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching Cisco CCDA Cisco CCNA Security Cisco CCNA Voice

ICND1/ICND2 to CCNAX Module MappingCCNAX v2.0 is a course that merges the ICND1 v2.0 and ICND2 v2.0 courses. The first three modules ofCCNAX (Building a Simple Network, Establishing Internet Connectivity, Managing Network DeviceSecurity) are mapped from ICND1 without modifications. The fourth module of CCNAX is IntroducingIPv6, taken from ICND1 and adapted by removing OSPFv3 discussion and configuration. The fifth modulein CCNAX is called Building a Medium-Sized Network and merges the ICND1 module of the same nameand the ICND2 module Implementing Scalable Medium-Sized Switched Networks. Troubleshooting BasicConnectivity, the sixth module, is copied from ICND2. The next three modules, Wide-Area Networks,Implementing an EIGRP-Based Solution and Implementing a Scalable OSPF-Based Solution, take modulesof the same name from ICND2 and merge them with few basic concepts that were introduced in ICND1.The last module, Network Device Management, is taken from ICND2. ICND1 Superlab, ICND2 ReviewLab, and ICND2 Superlab are not included in CCNAX v2.0.ICND1 v2.0CCNAX v2.0M1Building a Simple NetworkM1Building a Simple NetworkM1L1Exploring the Functions of NetworkingM1L1Exploring the Functions of NetworkingM1L2Understanding the Host-to-Host CommunicationsModelM1L2Understanding the Host-to-HostCommunications ModelM1L3Introducing LANsM1L3Introducing LANsM1L4Operating Cisco IOS SoftwareM1L4Operating Cisco IOS SoftwareM1L5Starting a SwitchM1L5Starting a SwitchM1L6LAB Performing Switch Startup and InitialConfigurationM1L6LAB Performing Switch Startup and InitialConfigurationM1L7Understanding Ethernet and Switch OperationM1L7Understanding Ethernet and SwitchOperationM1L8Troubleshooting Common Switch Media IssuesM1L8Troubleshooting Common Switch MediaIssuesM1L9LAB Troubleshooting Switch Media IssuesM1L9LAB Troubleshooting Switch Media IssuesM2Establishing Internet ConnectivityM2Establishing Internet ConnectivityM2L1Understanding the TCP/IP Internet LayerM2L1Understanding the TCP/IP Internet LayerM2L2IP Addressing and SubnetsM2L2IP Addressing and SubnetsM2L3Understanding the TCP/IP Transport LayerM2L3Understanding the TCP/IP Transport LayerM2L4Exploring the Functions of RoutingM2L4Exploring the Functions of RoutingC-4Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated 2013 Cisco Systems, Inc.

Detailed Course FlowAn accelerated course typically delivers a given amount of content over a shorter period than normal. Asopposed to a traditional five-day course flow schedule, the following table outlines approximately how longeach module will take to deliver. The timing of each module does include the time that it will take tocomplete the corresponding labs, but does not include lunch or breaks. You may make adjustments basedon the skills, knowledge, and preferences of the learners in attendance. The presentation of all topics isoptional for noncertification offerings, but you are encouraged to use them because they are designed toreinforce the lesson concepts and ensure that learners apply some of the concepts.CCNAX ModuleTimingModule 0: Course Introduction0:30Module 1: Building a Simple Network6:00Module 2: Establishing Internet Connectivity7:30Module 3: Managing Network Device Security5:30Module 4: Introducing IPv63:00Module 5: Building a Medium-Sized Network9:30Module 6: Troubleshooting Basic Connectivity2:00Module 7: Wide-Area Networks6:30Module 8: Implementing an EIGRP-Based Solution4:00Module 9: Implementing a Scalable OSPF-BasedSolution5:00Module 10: Network Device Management3:30Total53:00 2013 Cisco Systems, Inc.Course AdministrationC-11
