Every time we teach a class to get students started with Cisco and networking technologies, there are always some common things that bug and stop students from getting some basic topics.We, as instructors, are always asked if there is a basic to the basic course they are taking. That's why we are putting this router training white paper out -- help students with some of those basic of the basic concepts. This paper won't attempt to answer all your questions, but it will definitely help with some of those concepts to make your class experience more enjoyable. After reading this white paper, you should be ready for more complex concepts found in ICND1 followed by ICND2 (or the CCNA Boot Camp).
