RSTECH: Cisco Equipment, Components, & Port Characteristics

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Network field technicians need to look at a Cisco network and recognize what each device does, the physical characteristics of those devices, how they interact with other components on the network, and what to consider before troubleshooting them. In this course, you'll nail down how to ID networking equipment by function alone and grasp its role in both the context of the operational network and in troubleshooting. You'll start by categorizing network equipment by function before identifying how they operate in context and how they facilitate troubleshooting. You'll then examine how Cisco devices work with different networking media and the potential requirements for their use. Finally, you'll investigate the physical and functional characteristics of the ports on Cisco devices. This course can be used in preparation for the 100-490: Supporting Cisco Routing and Switching Network Devices (RSTECH) exam and to attain the Cisco Certified Technician (CTT) Routing & Switching certification.
