In this module, we will guide you through setting up your lab environment by installing Cisco Packet Tracer and configuring your system for effective hands-on practice.

In this module, we will introduce you to the core principles of network communication, covering the OSI model, TCP/IP stack, and how data travels between devices over a network.

In this module, we will explore the Cisco IOS operating system, teaching you how to connect to Cisco devices, navigate the interface, and manage configurations effectively.

In this module, we will dive into the transport layer, focusing on TCP and UDP protocols, their roles in ensuring reliable communication, and how to read transport layer headers.

In this module, we will cover OSI Layer 3, focusing on the IP header, different types of network traffic, and key subnetting principles to optimize network performance.

In this module, we will explore IP address classes in detail, explaining how different address classes are structured and when each is applied in networking environments.

In this module, we will provide an in-depth look at subnetting, with practical examples and exercises to help you understand CIDR, VLSM, and how to segment large networks.

In this module, we will discuss the data-link layer and its protocols, focusing on Ethernet standards and how Layer 2 facilitates local network communication.

In this module, we will focus on the physical layer, explaining how data is transmitted over physical media like cables and how to choose the correct connection types for networks.

In this module, we will introduce the various Cisco networking devices, from switches to routers, explaining how each device functions within a network and their differences.

In this module, we will trace the path of a packet across a network, highlighting key protocols like DNS and ARP, and providing practical examples of packet flow through various layers.

In this module, we will cover Cisco’s troubleshooting methodology, teaching you how to systematically approach and resolve network issues in both theory and lab environments.

In this module, we will introduce basic router and switch configurations, covering topics like speed settings, duplex modes, and troubleshooting common network issues.

In this module, we will explore the essentials of Cisco device management, including the boot process, factory reset procedures, and how to backup and upgrade configurations.
