Master wireless networks, NAT, DHCP, QoS, security strategies, and network automation with this advanced course for CCNA certification and senior roles.
This comprehensive course covers advanced aspects of modern network services, security, and programmability for experienced professionals. Beginning with wireless networking fundamentals, you'll explore wireless access point configurations, WLAN designs, and interference mitigation strategies while learning to configure wireless LAN controllers through graphical interfaces. The course then transitions to essential network services including NAT, DHCP, and NTP, providing practical skills in configuring these services to optimize network performance and manage IP address allocation. Network management topics cover AI implementation for monitoring, SNMP and Syslog configuration for event logging, and Quality of Service (QoS) principles for traffic prioritization. The security modules delve into threat defense mechanisms using the CIA Triad framework, implementation of Access Control Lists (ACLs), Layer 2 security features, and wireless security protocols. In the final section, you'll explore network programmability concepts including Software Defined Networking (SDN), REST APIs, and configuration management using DevOps tools like Ansible and Terraform, preparing you to automate and manage large-scale networks effectively.
