SWITCH - Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks v1.0

Course Description/Agenda


This course includes extensive hands-on labs to help you learn to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture. In order to gain a firm understanding of how to manage switches in an enterprise campus environment, you'll cover:

  • VLANs and WLANs
  • Spanning tree
  • Inter-VLAN routing
  • Security features

Bonus Lab Credits Included

Only at Global Knowledge, you'll receive extra SWITCH lab credits. Redeem them within 30 days to review a topic after class, refine your skills, or get in extra practice-whatever lab activities complete your training.

What You'll Learn

  • Analyze campus network designs
  • Implement VLANs in a network campus
  • Implement spanning tree
  • Implement inter-VLAN routing in a campus network
  • Implement high-availability technologies and techniques using multilayer switches in a campus environment
  • Implement security features in a switched network
  • Integrate WLANs into a campus network
  • Accommodate voice and video in campus networks

Who Should Attend

  • Network engineers with at least one year of professional work experience who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions
  • Network engineers, technical support personnel, or help desk technicians who will need to correctly implement and/or support switch-based solutions

Course Prerequisites

  • CCNA certification

OR

  • Familiarity with internetworking technologies; the ability to perform basic router configuration; experience installing, operating, and maintaining routers and switches in an enterprise environment
  • Knowledge of IP, including the ability to perform IP subnetting on non-octal boundaries, configure IP standard and extended access lists, operate and configure distance vector routing protocol, configure serial interface, and interpret a routing table
