Cisco ASA SSL VPN Project

This project is based on a very common deployment: installation of a new dedicated firewall in the network. In this case, we need a more advanced internet edge device to provide better site to site VPN capabilities and also telecommuter support with Remote Access VPN.

Colo Data Center Project

Another common extension of the network is to add a hot-site for disaster recovery and redundant network services. A Co-located Data Center will provide us redundancy in our infrastrutcture as well as our storage and server environments in the case of a disaster

FSNP SQC Preparation Labs

Before performing the live Skills Qualification Check (SQC) to become certified as a Full Stack Network Professional, candidates will be provided with preparation labs and lab guides that will assist with reinforcement of all the concepts and skills that are checked during the live SQC.

PLANNING PHASE

In the Planning Phase we will perform all the necessary work to plan out our project. We’ll start by gathering infromation and learning the requriements of the project. Then, we will produce a super professional diagramm that details our solution. After we have the diagram, we will work on a Bill of Materials and Statement of Work that details the entire project plan. To wrap up the Planning Phase we will present our solution to the customer or business unit and once the project is approved we can get started with the Execution Phase!

EXECUTION PHASE

In the Execution Phase we will implement all the equipment and technologies defined in our Statement of Work. We’ll start with setting up the Headquarters core network and then add internet, WAN routing, voice, and wireless services. After the Headquarters network build out is complete we’ll begin work on Branch 1 and then Branch 2. By the end of this phase you will have deployed an entire 3 facility Full Stack Network!

CONTROLLING PHASE

In the Controlling Phase we will perform all of our final testing and make sure all deliverables in the Statement of Work have been met. We’ll also tackle some support requests and make sure the customer is well taken care of before we move on to closing out the project.

CLOSING PHASE

You have arrived at the Closing Phase – It’s been quite a journey! In the Closing Phase we get to have the pleasure of delivering the fully implemented Full Stack Network to the customer! To close things out gracefully we will wrap up the project with a formal close-out process and make sure we obtain feedback on the project delivery. This phase wraps up the entire project and at this point you have completed the great feat of deploying a complete HQ/branch network environment with routing, switching, voice over IP, wireless networking, and network security! Having compeleted this robust project you now have an understanding of what it takes to roll out an IT project from start to finish and deploy the full stack of network services! After deploying this real-world project you are ready to start preparing for your next two project deployments and your Skills Qualification Check to become certified as a Full Stack Network Professional!

Cisco Certified Network Associate

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification is one of the strongest associate level IT certifications in the world and proves your ability to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot enterprise networks and Cisco IOS. CCNA certified professionals understand the most core and fundamental technologies related to network engineering, and are versed in the configuration and installation of Cisco routers and switches in a broad range of IT environments. In this course students are presented with a series of premium instructional videos and hands-on labs that teach all the knowledge and skills needed to pass the 200-301 CCNA exam, obtain your CCNA certification, and get on your path to becoming a rockstar engineer!

NETWORK FUNDAMENTALS RELATED TO CISCO NETWORKING

You will learn all of the foundational network concepts found on the CCNA exam. In this section we will review network components such as routers, switches, firewalls, access-points, endpoints, servers and controllers. We will also cover topologies here as well as physical cabling and important protocols such as TCP and UDP. To wrap up and complete the network fundamentals module we will discuss operating systems and also the fundamentails of virtualization!

NETWORK ADDRESSING & MODELS

In this section we will thoroughly break down layer 2 and layer 3 addressing with MAC, IPv4 (addressing & subnetting), and IPv6. We will also look at addressing from the aspect of the Transport layer, how all of this network communication fits into a standard reference model and where we get these terms called layers.

NETWORK ACCESS

In this section we begin our dive into Cisco IOS configurations with LAN technologies such as VLANs, Trunking, layer 2 discovery protocols, port aggregation with EtherChannel/LACP, and Spanning-Tree Protocol. We will also look at Cisco Wireless Architectures, WLAN infrastructure, Wireless LAN Controllers, and WLAN setup and configuration to wrap up the LAN technologies that provide our clients with access to the network!

IP CONNECTIVITY

In this module we will move into configuring our routers and learn all about the core routing related concepts such as routing tables, static routing and routing protocols. We will configure routers to route dynamically within the autonomous system with Open Shortest Path First version 2 (OPSFv2) and learn how we an create routing redundancy in the LAN with first hop redundancy.

IP SERVICES

Here we will break down network services such as Network Timing Protocol (NTP), Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Quality of Service. We will break down and understand the Domain Name System (DNS), and learn how to manage our networks with SNMP and Syslog. We will also break down remote network access protocols and services such as Telnet and SSH, and understand how we can control and standardize network access for specific applicaitons and protocols with Quality of Service (QoS).

SECURITY FUNDAMENTALS

With the exponential growth of networked devices and internet connectivity, security has become an essential part of all IT infrastructures as all modern computer systems are networked and connected. Any connected system can be hacked, so all network engineers must understand key security concepts and industry standard security implementations. In this module you will learn all about these topics and also how to create secure networked connectivity with site to site VPNs and enhance security on the LAN with technologies such as DHCP snooping, ARP inspection, and port security.

AUTOMATION AND PROGRAMMABILITY

In this module you will learn about automated networking and device management using controller-based systems such as Cisco DNA center. In addion, we will dive into the internal network device architectures that can be conrolled with controller-based and software-defined networking. We will also discuss REST-based API (CRUD, HTTP vers, and data encoding) as it pertains to network automation and programmability as well as configuration management mechnisms such as Puppet, Chef, and Asible.

EXAM PREPARATION

You will learn how to prepare for the CCNA certification exam. We will supply testing information to help you focus on your studies, a practice exam, and information on how to get your exam scheduled. It’s time to knock out that exam and become CCNA certified.

CAREER WEEK 2

Students will go through all the steps to apply for an IT job through our simulated hiring process. They will complete a formal job application and interview for an IT position with the application materials they created in their Career Services’ exercises. Students will identify a job on our company’s website, interview, learn if they were made a job offer or not, and receive detailed feedback. This process will help our candidates emerge from our program with stand out applications, interviews, and winning first impressions to potential employers!
