ICE0006 - LANMAN Design and Administration 1

Course Outline

As Enterprises migrate toward controller based architectures, the role and skills required of a
core network engineer are evolving and more vital than ever. To prepare for this network
transition, the LANMAN Design and Administration 1 course which heavily borrows its
content from the CCNA Routing and Switching certification will not only prepare students
with the knowledge of foundational technologies, but ensure they stay relevant with skill sets
needed for the adoption of next generation technologies. This course will make students
develop knowledge and skills related to network fundamentals, LAN switching technologies,
IPv4 and IPv6 routing technologies, WAN technologies, infrastructure services, infrastructure
security, and infrastructure management.

Prerequisites: Computer hardware and Operating Systems
