Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions with Virtual Reality (CCNAVR) v1.0 is a robust 5-day blended class that teaches learners how to install, operate, configure, and verify IPv4 and IPv6 networks, leveraging Virtual Reality technology as part of the learning medium. Students will learn to configure the network components, such as switches, routers, and Wireless LAN Controllers; managing network devices, and identifying basic security threats.
Learners will also gain experience by participating in virtual classrooms lectures about selected topics and hands-on experience with racking and connecting Cisco routing and switching devices in a virtual environment using NterOne’s ClearConnect VR application. Today’s networking professional job roles are changing more than ever, thus, the new CCNA will now cover wireless, overview of SD-WAN, DNA Center and Security threats.
The goal of the course is to provide learners with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to install, configure, and operate a small to medium-sized network. Practical skills will be achieved using real-world scenarios and examples in a traditional lab as well as a state-of-the-art virtual reality environment developed by NterOne. Students will receive an Oculus Quest as part of their purchase and enrollment into CCNAVR.
The course qualifies for 30 Cisco Continuing
