Cisco Networking Essentials

This introductory course is designed for individuals who are completely new to Cisco networking and have no prior experience with the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). The course provides a solid foundation in Cisco networking, covering essential topics such as identifying interfaces, cabling, and hardware components, along with understanding basic networking concepts like IP addressing, subnets, and the OSI model. The course focuses on practical knowledge of the Cisco IOS software through specific videos on the command-line interface, enabling learners to understand and navigate the IOS environment. By the end, students will gain a strong conceptual grasp of Cisco networking, making it easier to build on these basics in more hands-on environments later.
