• Work with Spanning Tree Protocol.
• Configure Rapid and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocols.
• Configure spanning tree enhancements.
• Configure multilayer switching and routing.
• Secure VLANs.

Target Student:

This course is designed for network security specialists, security administrators, and network security support engineers who are responsible for deploying and managing Cisco switching solutions in a network infrastructure. Individuals should attend if their primary job responsibility is to handle and secure the switch configuration of their organization’s network that uses the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture.

This course is also designed for students who are seeking Cisco CCNP and CCDP certifications and who want to prepare for Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH) Exam 300-115.

Prerequisites:

To ensure your success in this course, you should have experience with basic networking and security and switching concepts, and Cisco IOS networking features and concepts. You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the following courses, available from Logical Operations:

• CompTIA® Network+® (Exam N10-006)
• Cisco® CCENT®/CCNA® 3.0: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 1 (ICND1)
• Cisco® CCNA® 3.0: Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices, Part 2 (ICND2)
