Cisco CCNP R&S: SWITCH online training course provides knowledge and skills needed to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network. You will focus on Layer 2 and multilayer switch functions including VLANs, trunks, inter-VLAN routing, port aggregation, spanning tree, first hop redundancy, as well as network security and high availability features.
Who Should Attend This Course
Network engineers and technicians, support engineers, systems engineers, network analysts, senior network administrator or anyone involved in planning, implementing, verifying, and troubleshooting switch-based solutions in enterprise networks who will need to correctly implement and/or support switch-based solutions. This course is intended for students who are looking for real-world switching knowledge, and those that are considering the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching. This course’s discussion of switching could also benefit early CCIE Routing and Switching candidates.
Prerequisites
- Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching certification is highly recommended
- Knowledge to Configure network fundamentals, including the ability to establish Internet, LAN, and WAN connectivity using both IPv4 and IPv6
- Operate and support a medium-sized LAN that has multiple switches, including VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree functionality
- Troubleshoot IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity issues
- Configure and troubleshoot EIGRP and OSPF, for both IPv4 and IPv6
- Configure devices for SNMP, Syslog, and NetFlow
- Manage network device security, Cisco device configurations, Cisco IOS images, and licenses
Skills Learned:
- Components of the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture including the operation of Layer 2 and multilayer switches
- Switching Database Manager (SDM) templates and how they are used
- Implementing device features including LLDP and PoE
- VLANs and trunks and how VTP works
- Configuring a device to be a DHCP server and relay agent, for both IPv4 and IPv6
- Configuring Layer 2 and Layer 3 port aggregation
