Description

This is an advanced course on Cisco switching configuration. Upon completion of this course students will be able to configure and optimize a switched infrastructure using VLANS, STP, RSTP, MSTP, and HSRP. Additionally, students will be able to secure this switched infrastructure and integrate wireless and IP telephony solutions using multilayer switches.

Skills Taught
Upon completion of the Implementing Cisco Switched Networks (SWITCH) course, the student will have the skills required for: 
  • Implementation of VLANs
  • Configuration of STP, RSTP and MST
  • Optimizing STP
  • Configuration of routing between VLANs
  • Configuration of redundancy protocols such as HSRP, VRRP and GLBP
  • Integration of wireless into a switched environment
  • Integration of voice into a switched environment
  • Securing a switched network

Audience

This course is intended for students who are looking for real-world switching knowledge, and those that are considering CCNP and CCDP certification. This course’s discussion of switching could also benefit early CCIE Routing and Switching candidates.
