Overview
Interconnecting Cisco® Networking Devices Part 1 (ICND1) Version 3.0 is a Cisco Training on Demand course. It provides you with an understanding of network fundamentals, LAN switching technologies, basic routing technologies, network infrastructure services such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and infrastructure management of network devices.
You also learn how to understand quality of service (QoS), virtualization and cloud services, and network programmability related to WAN access and core segments, as well as gain a foundational understanding of network Layers 1 to 3 that are applicable to core routing and switching, plus other advanced technologies. In addition, you gain an understanding of the interactions and network functions of firewalls, wireless controllers, and access points, along with additional focus on IPv6 and basic network security.
