What you'll be able to do
Build and run a small network.
CCNA is Cisco's associate-level certification and the usual first step into networking. Rooman has taught it since 2000, and was the first Indian institute to teach it on real Cisco routers rather than simulators.
Connect
Switch and route traffic.
Configure VLANs, trunks, EtherChannel, Rapid PVST+, static routes and single-area OSPF.
Secure
Protect and automate it.
Apply ACLs, port security and SSH, and read JSON from a controller's REST API.
Skills covered
- IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnetting
- VLANs, trunking and EtherChannel
- Spanning tree (Rapid PVST+)
- Static routing and OSPFv2
- NAT, DHCP, DNS and NTP
- ACLs and Layer 2 security
- Wireless LAN basics
- Network automation, REST APIs and JSON
Who it's for
Built for your first networking role.

Topics covered
- VLANs, trunks and inter-VLAN connectivity
- CDP, LLDP and EtherChannel
- Rapid PVST+ spanning tree
- Cisco wireless architectures and WLAN setup
You produce: a switched campus with VLANs and trunks.
03IP connectivity12 hrs
Cisco domain 3.0 (25%): how routers choose a path.
Topics covered
- Routing tables and forwarding decisions
- IPv4 and IPv6 static routing
- Single-area OSPFv2

Tools covered
The tools you'll work with.
You configure real Cisco equipment in the lab, as Rooman has done since 2000.
| Tool group | Tools | What you use them for |
|---|---|---|
| Lab hardware | Cisco routers and switches | Build, configure and troubleshoot every lab |
| Simulation | Cisco Packet Tracer | Practise topologies between lab sessions |
| Device access | Cisco IOS CLI, SSH | Configure and verify devices |
| Automation | REST APIs, JSON | Read and change network state from code |
Capstone
Build a branch network. Then troubleshoot it.
Your final lab brings every domain together: you address, switch, route and secure a small branch network on real Cisco kit, then find and fix the faults your instructor introduces.
Every module ends with a live lab on real Cisco routers and switches.
What you finish with.
- An IPv4 and IPv6 addressing plan
- A switched network with VLANs and trunks
- A routed network running OSPF
- A secured network with ACLs
- A branch network built and troubleshot end to end
