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 a scalable internetwork
  • Distinguish between various LAN technologies
  • Deploy switches using advanced resiliency techniques
  • Interconnect networks using appropriate WAN services
  • Determine the optimum routing protocol for various internetworking environments
  • Integrate management and security into your internetwork

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 TCP/IP networks. Through extensive 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:
  • Implementing a new switch and router from initial factory configuration
  • Installing a switched network
  • Testing continuity with ICMP ping
  • Configuring and testing IP addresses, subnets, default gateways
  • Dissecting a switch and a router to expose security weaknesses
  • Switching deployment with VLANs & Spanning Tree
  • Capturing passwords with a protocol analyzer
