Cisco Industrial IoT Fundamentals

Cisco Industrial IoT Fundamentals is a 5-day instructor-led course that introduces learners to Cisco Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networking concepts, technologies, architectures, and operational practices used to connect, secure, monitor, and troubleshoot industrial environments. The course is designed for Network Engineers, OT Support Teams, Systems Integrators, and IT Professionals who need to understand how Cisco industrial switches, industrial routers, segmentation, visibility, secure remote access, and industrial security tools work together in real-world environments. Cisco's current Industrial IoT portfolio focuses on ruggedized industrial switches, industrial routers, industrial wireless, embedded networking, edge computing, and industrial network management for harsh operational environments.

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Explain the differences between IT and OT networks
• Identify common industrial protocols and traffic patterns
• Deploy basic Cisco Industrial Ethernet switching
• Configure resilient Layer 2 and Layer 3 industrial connectivity
• Apply segmentation and security controls
• Use visibility tools to discover OT assets
• Troubleshoot common industrial networking issues

The course also introduces Cisco Cyber Vision for industrial asset visibility, risk awareness, segmentation support, and secure remote access workflows. Cisco Cyber Vision is positioned around continuous OT visibility, asset inventory, risk reduction, segmentation support, and industrial security posture improvement.
