Total TRILL training course description

A comprehensive look at Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL). This TRILL course starts with the problems in traditional switched networks then moves onto to how TRILL solves these problems. As IS -IS is key to loop free topologies in TRILL networks, this protocol is also studied.

What will you learn
  • Explain the benefits of TRILL.
  • Explain how TRILL works.
  • Explain the role of IS-IS in TRILL.
  • Integrate TRILL into existing networks.
