Switches and Routers: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction
Course: 364
Type: Hands-On Training
Duration: 4 Days
You Will Learn How To
- Build and design scalable networks
- Compare the operational benefits of Ethernet and WLAN
- Deploy switches using Spanning Tree and VLANs
- Employ a variety of LAN interconnection techniques
- Determine the optimum routing protocol for various internetworking environments
- Integrate network management and security
Course Benefits Switches and routers are the critical building blocks of a successful internetwork infrastructure. In this course, you gain the essential knowledge required to deploy and use switches and routers in IP networks. Through a combination of written and hands-on exercises, you acquire the skills to effectively select and deploy appropriate internetworking technologies.Who Should Attend Network managers, technicians, engineers and consultants involved in designing, implementing or managing networks. Knowledge of computer networking principles at the level of Course 450, "Networking Comprehensive Introduction," is assumed.Hands-On Training Hands-on exercises provide you with experience deploying routers and switches. Exercises include:
- Setting up a new switch and router from initial factory configuration
- Building and optimizing a switched LAN
- Network testing using ping and traceroute
- Implementing an IP address design
- Exposing switch and router security weaknesses
- Deploying and optimizing VLANs and Spanning Tree
- Comparing RIPv1 and RIPv2 with a protocol analyzer
