Basic switch/router configuration

Description
TRNG-0103 provides a comprehensive study of layer 2 and 3 features of Foundry Networks switches and routers. These features are common to the majority of Foundry's devices. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to select appropriate Foundry devices, connect, configure and troubleshoot them.

Who will benefit?
Anyone working with products from Foundry Networks.

Prerequisites
To fully benefit from this course you should have a working knowledge of the listed technologies:
The OSI reference model, differences between and functions of layer 2 and layer 3 devices. STP, RIP, static routes.

Objectives
By the end of the course delegates will be able to:

Identify where Foundry products are used in a typical data network.
Create Layer 2 and 3 data networks using Foundry Switches / Routers.
Use the CLI to configure and manage Foundry Switch / Router interfaces, VLANs and protocols.
Upgrade software images and files on Foundry Switch / Routers.
Interconnect Foundry Switch Routers based on a network design.
Configure Access Lists - Troubleshoot using CLI show commands.

Duration: 3 days

Contents

The Essentials
Configure Foundry products with the CLI. Determine port settings from front panel LEDs. List the contents of flash. Move contents between flash and a TFTP server. Determine the Layer 2 or 3 configuration of the product. Control user access.

Trunks
Define the different types of trunks. Configure a trunk. Use the CLI to find which ports belong to which trunks.

VLANs
Configure Layer 2 port based VLANs. Configure 802.1q Frame Tagging. Switching Routers (routing between VLANs in one product). VLAN groups (simultaneous configuration and management of 1000 or more VLANs).

Spanning Tree Protocol
Foundry STP default 802.1D. Per VLAN Spanning Tree and PVST+ compatibility. Fast Port Span. Fast Uplink Span. Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w). STP per VLAN Group.

Routing
Describe the basic functions of RIP. Enable RIP on a router interface. Configure a static route. Configure a default route.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
List the differences between OSPF & RIP. Describe the basic OSPF terms. List the show commands used for OSPF troubleshooting. Describe the Hello protocol & Designated Router elections. List the OSPF LSA types and their function. Configure OSPF in a variety of configurations: Multi-Area OSPF, Stub Area OSPF, RIP and OSPF Redistribution, OSPF Virtual links.

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Describe the basic BGP terms. List the differences between IGP and EGP. Describe an Autonomous System (AS). List the steps of BGP peering. List the differences between IBGP & EBGP. Configure EBGP and IBGP. EBGP for Multihomed ISPs. IBGP using loopback interfaces. EBGP multi-hop

Access Control Lists (ACLs)
Describe differences between a standard ACL & extended ACL. Configure standard & extended ACLs. Applying ACLs to Policy Based Routing.

VRRP
Describe VRRP and VRRPe (Enhanced). Configure VRRP and VRRPe.
