COURSE CONTENT

Student Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Analyze the processes routers and switches employ to enable communication through Virtual Local Area Networks.

2. Perform, with an increasing degree of proficiency, basic switch configurations, demonstrating increasing comprehension of switching metrics and protocols.

3. Design and implement a classless Internet Protocol (IP) addressing scheme, applying the skills and knowledge obtained in this class.

 

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

 

1. Configure Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) and Inter-VLAN routing applying security

    best practices.

2. Troubleshoot inter-VLAN routing on Layer 3 devices.

3. Configure redundancy on a switched network using Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and

    EtherChannel.

4. Troubleshoot EtherChannel on switched networks.

5. Explain how to support available and reliable networks using dynamic addressing and

    first-hop redundancy protocols.

6. Configure dynamic address allocation in IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

7. Configure Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) using a Wireless Lan Controller and

    Layer 2 security best practices.

8. Configure switch security to mitigate LAN attacks.

9. Configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routing on routers.
