Module 5: Cabling LANs and WANs
Overview
Module should be one of the highlights of the course. Students will apply what they have learned about networking terminology and media to the building of simple model LANs and WANs. Other than IP addressing, this is the core of the CCNA 1 experience.
 

Module 5 Caution
This is the most lab-intensive module in CCNA 1, requiring much preparation. PCs, cables (straight-through, crossover, rollover, serial DCE and DTE), hubs, switches, and routers are used in a series of essential labs. This is the module where students must master interconnecting Cisco networking devices.

Students completing this module should be able to perform the following tasks:

• Identify characteristics of Ethernet networks
• Identify straight-through, crossover, and rollover cables
  Describe the function, advantages, and disadvantages of repeaters, hubs, bridges,
  switches, and wireless network components
• Describe the function of peer-to-peer networks
• Describe the function, advantages, and disadvantages of client-server networks
• Describe and differentiate between serial, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN),
  digital subscriber line (DSL), and cable modem WAN connections
• Identify router serial ports, cables, and connectors
• Identify and describe the placement of equipment used in various WAN configurations
