Implementing Cisco switched networks  |    A 5 day   hands on   training course

Cisco switched networks training course description

This is a five-day course designed to help students prepare to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture. Labs are an important feature of this course with 2 different types of labs being used to aid learning, discovery labs are instructor guided labs through which students explore new topics in an interactive way, the challenge Labs are designed to test students understanding of the topics being taught and to provide vital hands-on practice.

What will you learn
  • Implement VLANs, trunks, explain VTP, implement DHCP in IPv4 and IPv6 environment, and configure port aggregation.
  • Implement and optimize STP.
  • Configure routing on a multilayer switch.
  • Configure NTP, SNMP, IP SLA, port mirroring, and verify StackWise and VSS operation.
  • Implement First Hop redundancy in IPv4 and IPv6 environments.
  • Secure campus network according to recommended practices.
