This course is the second semester of a four-semester curriculum covering networking concepts, design, implementation, management and operation. This course teaches the features of the Cisco IOS software including log in, context-sensitive help, command history and editing, loading software, configuring and verifying IP addresses, preparing the initial configuration of a router, and adding routing protocols to the router configuration. The foundation of this course is a computer-based training (CBT) modules developed by Cisco Systems

You will complete your ITN 155 coursework in 8 weeks. The course is highly compressed requiring extensive reading; there are quizzes and lab assignments that you will need to complete on a weekly basis. I urge you to stay focused and exercise careful time management to complete the course in 8-weeks. Requires one on-campus lab meeting.
