The Full Form of ICND is Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices.

The Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 1 (ICND1) course helps you prepare for the Cisco CCNA®
Routing and Switching and CCENT® certifications and for associate-level routing and switching network
engineering roles. This course teaches you how to install, operate, configure, and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6
network, and gives you the knowledge you need to configure LAN switches and IP routers, as well as manage
network devices and identify basic security threats. The course provides a foundational understanding of network
Layers 1–3, which underlie core routing and switching plus other advanced technologies.

In this course, you’ll use a full suite of labs in the virtual Cisco IOS® Software environment with flexible topologies
to help reinforce your knowledge with hands-on exercises that align to each lesson module.

This course can help you prepare for the CCENT certification. It is also the first of two courses in a series that can
help you prepare for the CCNA Routing and Switching certification. The second course in the series is
Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices, Part 2 (ICND2).
