Switches and Routers: A Comprehensive Hands-On Introduction

 
Course: 364   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 optimising a switched LAN
  • Network testing using ping and traceroute
  • Implementing an IP address design
  • Exposing switch and router security weaknesses
  • Deploying and optimising VLANs and Spanning Tree
  • Comparing RIPv1 and RIPv2 with a protocol analyser
