Powerful 5-Day Hands on Cisco Course v2.0 | Prepares you for Cisco Exam 642-812
Course Description
In this 5-day Authorized Cisco course, implement campus networks using multilayer switching technologies over high-speed Ethernet and wireless topologies. This course addresses the integration of routing and switching technologies to create an efficient campus network. Design, build, and configure a campus network with device and link redundancy for high reliability, while maintaining the performance to meet today's demanding application requirements, such as voice, video, and secure wireless technologies.
Learn to choose and configure the necessary Layer 2 and 3 protocols and features to guarantee constant access.
Technologies such as Spanning Tree, Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1W), Multiple Spanning Tree (802.1S), Uplinkfast and Backbonefast will be covered in detail to determine how to optimize a network's convergence times in the event a physical path fails. Also learn how to get more bandwidth between network devices by configuring EtherChannel. Learn the advantages and how to configure and troubleshoot HSRP, convergence of voice, video and data in a real-time environment and QoS. Configure basic security options such as 802.1x, Port security, BPDU guard, and DHCP spoof attack prevention.
