Cisco CCNP R&S: SWITCH online training course provides knowledge and skills needed to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network. Students 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.
Overview
Skills Learned
After completing this online training course, students will be able to:
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
Different types of spanning tree protocols and mechanisms, including STP, RSTP, and MST
Implementing inter-VLAN routing on both a router and a multilayer switch
Network high availability including NTP, SNMPv3, IP SLA, port mirroring, and switch virtualization
First hop redundancy protocols for IPv4 and IPv6 including HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP
Implementing network security features including port security, storm control, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, dynamic ARP inspection, VLAN ACLs, and private VLANs
Using an external authentication server in your network, including implementing IEEE 802.1x
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.
