Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks
Revision: TE1206_20060318
Course Length:
5 Days
Course Description:
This course enables learners to use appropriate technologies to build scalable multilayer switched networks, to create and deploy a global intranet, and to implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This course also enables learners to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via a service provider.
Who Should Attend:
Network administrators and technicians who are responsible for implementing or troubleshooting a multilayer switched network in an enterprise environment will benefit from this course.
Benefits of Attendance:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Deploy the required Cisco products and services that enable connectivity and traffic transport.
- Implement the necessary services at each layer of the network to all users to obtain services in a working multilayer-switched network.
- Control network traffic with network policies.
- Restore proper network operations through the use of Cisco devices and external management tools.
- Explain how service providers implement transparent LAN services and Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
Prerequisites:
Students should have basic configuration skills with routers, switches, virtual local area networks (VLANs), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), trunking, and standard access lists. Participants should have a working knowledge of commonly used networking terms and topologies; the basic functions of a network protocol; fundamental network device; the OSI reference model; use of Windows 95/NT to run multiple applications; accessing the Internet or an intranet; and binary and hexadecimal numbering.
