COURSE NUMBER: ITCC 2308
COURSE TITLE: CCNA 3 CISCO EXPLORATION 3 - LAN SWITCHING AND
WIRELESS
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course helps students develop an in-depth
understanding of how switches operate and are implemented in the LAN environment for
small and large networks. Detailed explanations of LAN switch operations, VLAN
implementation, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP),
Inter-VLAN routing, and wireless network operations. Analyze, configure, verify, and
troubleshoot VLANs, RSTP, VTP, and wireless networks. Campus network design and
Layer 3 switching concepts are introduced. This course also helps students develop an indepth understanding of how routers operate and are implemented in the LAN environment
for small and large networks. Detailed explanations of router operations, DHCP, Link
Aggregation, EIGRP, Multi-Area OSPF, and IOS File Management. Analyze, configure,
verify, and troubleshoot DHCP, Link Aggregation, EIGRP, and Multi-Area OSPF.

SECRETARY’S COMMISSION ON THE ACQUISITION OF NECESSARY SKILLS
(SCANS)- SCANS skills are a group of foundational skills and workplace competencies that the
Secretary’s Commission on the Acquisition of Necessary Skills established as vitally important for
workplace success in the 21st century. In Collin’s workforce programs, the SCANS skills are
developed and reinforced throughout the curriculum to provide students with an opportunity to
hone these skills/competencies in the context of their education. Over the course of an entire
degree program, the successful student is expected to demonstrate all of the SCANS skills and
competencies as part of their education. The SCANS Foundation Skills and Workplace
Competencies are described at:
