Optimizing and Securing Multilayer Switched Networks

Overview/Description
To enhance multilayer switched networks with hardware modules in order to provide optimal performance, monitor performance, and secure those networks

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
140 Minutes

Objectives:

Optimizing and Securing Multilayer Switched Networks

  • identify performance-management techniques, recognize the functions of SPAN and RSPAN, and configure them to enhance the performance of a multilayer switched network.
  • recognize how network analysis modules operate, and configure and verify the operation of network analysis modules on Catalyst switches.
  • identify the features of techniques used to enhance the performance of a multilayer switched network.
  • identify basic security concepts and services for the multilayer switched network and configure authentication, authorization, and accounting on Catalyst switches.
  • identify the functions of and configure port security, port-based authentication, and VLAN access lists, and verify the network access security configuration.
  • identify the benefits of private VLANs, recognize PVLAN ports and functions, and configure and verify the private VLAN access list security configuration.
  • verify connectivity and the policy to implement, configure VLAN access control lists (VACLs), and set up and verify operation of TACACS+ on the switch.
