Routing & Switching / CCNA / CCNP

Course : Implementing Cisco® IP Switched Networks v1.0 (SWITCH)

Description

SWITCH is a new course that replaces BCMSN as part of Cisco's recent changes to the CCNP and CCDP certification programs. In SWITCH, students will learn to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture.
This course is a component of the Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching curriculum, a professional-level certification, and it is designed to give students a firm understanding of how to manage switches in an enterprise campus environment. Hands-on labs reinforce what is learned.

Audience

This course is intended for network engineers with at least one year of professional work experience who are ready to advance their skills and work independently on complex network solutions, network professionals, including network engineers, network operations center (NOC) technical support personnel, or help desk technicians, who will need to correctly implement switch-based solutions given a network design using Cisco IOS services and features. This course is also intended for any individual involved in network operations and support.

At course completion

After completing this course, students will be able to:

- Analyze campus network designs
- Implement VLANs in a network campus
- Implement spanning tree
- Implement inter-VLAN routing in a campus network
- Implement a highly available network
- Implement high-availability technologies and techniques using multilayer switches in a campus environment
- Implement security features in a switched network
- Integrate WLANs into a campus network
- Accommodate voice and video in campus networks

Prerequisites

Before attending this course, students must have:

- CCNA certification or familiarity with internetworking technologies and the ability to perform basic configuration of Cisco routers, including practical experience installing, operating and maintaining Cisco routers and switches in an enterprise environment.
- Knowledge of IP, including the ability to perform IP subnetting on non-octal boundaries, configure IP standard and extended access lists, operate and configure distance vector routing protocol, configure serial interface and interpret a Cisco routing table.
