Introduction to Cisco IOS

This 3-Day Course introduces Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System). Delegates will learn the basic features and functions and complete practical exercises using Cisco Routers and Switches.

Delegates will learn the Cisco IOS structure and practice the use of management commands as well as those associated with global router and switch parameters such as IP addressing, MAC Address management, LAN and WAN services and security configuration such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) on routers and Port Security on switches.
