Implementing Switching in the Network

Overview/Description
To define the role of multilayer switching in an enterprise network, including basic configuration and management and troubleshooting issues for Catalyst switches

Target Audience
Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing a multilayer switched network in an enterprise or service provider environment; network architects responsible for designing multilayer switched networks to carry voice, video, and data traffic in an enterprise or service provider environment; CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP candidates. CCIE routing and switching candidates

Prerequisites
Knowledge of basic router configuration, basic switch configuration, basic virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration, basic Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration, basic trunking configuration, and standard access list configuration

Expected Duration
230 Minutes

Objectives:

Implementing Switching in the Network

  • outline the structure of the BCMSN 2 learning series.
  • outline the different Cisco Career Certification paths.
  • identify the features of the major components of the Cisco AVVID framework and outline the enterprise composite network model and its functional areas.
  • identify the components of modules that comprise functional areas of the enterprise composite network model, outlining how they meet the need for performance, scalability, and availability.
  • identify components of the enterprise composite network model and define their roles.
  • identify the features and functionality of Layer 2 and multilayer switches and recognize and outline the physical and data-link layer technologies used in a switched network.
  • identify the roles of multilayer switches within the Campus Infrastructure, server farm and at the enterprise edge.
  • identify the role of switching technologies in a network, identify data link technologies and their features and recognize where specific switches might be deployed in different functional areas of the networks.
  • compare the features of CatOS and Cisco IOS (Native Mode), identify the Catalyst switches on which each runs, and manage CatOS images according to best practices.
  • manage Cisco IOS (Native Mode) images according to best practices and determine how to convert the Catalyst switch operating system from CatOS to Cisco IOS.
  • outline the basic troubleshooting procedures for switched networks.
  • access a catalyst switch remotely and carry out basic configurations
