Overview
This
course is for network professionals responsible for the
design, configuration, and integration of Cisco
switching networks and is recommended for those
interested in becoming a Cisco Certified Network
Professional (CCNP) or a Cisco Certified Design
Professional (CCDP).
The
course teaches how to build campus networks using
multilayer switching technologies over high speed
Ethernet, addressing the integration of routing and
switching technologies to create an efficient
fault-tolerant campus network.
Course content is reinforced by numerous hands-on
labs.
Provides
preparation for exam
300-115
and assumes that the
student has already completed the Interconnecting Cisco
Network Devices (ICND) course or has equivalent
internetworking experience.
Students should possess hands-on experience with basic
router and switch configuration tasks, and be able to
configure a simple VLAN.
·
Identification
of Cisco products and services enabling connectivity and
fault-tolerant traffic transport over Fast Ethernet.
·
Improving
IP routing performance through Multilayer Switching
(MLS)
·
Implementing
fault tolerance through Hot Standby Router Protocol
(HSRP)
·
Implementation
of the necessary services at each layer of the network
permitting users to obtain membership in multicast
groups.
