In Cisco Routing and Switching: the student will cover VLANS and Inter-VLAN routing, Spanning tree, WLANs, and Security features. The student will obtain a clear understanding of switch management in a campus environment. Lab exercises teach students to not only verify the complex enterprise, but to plan and configure switching solutions for the campus as well.
Number of days:
Cisco Routing and Switching: SWITCH- Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks v1.0 will be in session over the course of five days.
Required Prerequisites:
To enroll a student must be CCNA certified or have extensive knowledge of IP. Extensive knowledge refers to the ability to subnet on non-octal boundaries, configuration of serial interface, knowledge of configuring IP standard access list, as well as extended access list, vector routing protocol. Must be able to interpret routing tables.
Who Should Attend:
Professionals with one year or more of work experience in Cisco should attend to further their education. Professionals who wish to advance thier existing skills and work either independently or as support for switched based solutions. Technical support employees and help desk technicians who will be required to trouble shoot complex switch based network solutions. Channel partners, customers, and employees should also attend.
Detailed Course Description:
The SWITCH Course is one of the three components of CCNP and is used to help prepare for complete CCNP certification. Students will learn to analyze the campus network design and accommodate voice and video in campus networks. They will learn to implement VLANs and Integrate WLANs in the campus network. They will learn to implement spanning tree, inter-VLAN routing, and security features. Student will also learn implementation of high-avalibility technologies through techniques used for multilayer switches in the campus environment. Students will essentially learn management of complex enterprise campus switching solutions from analyzing to implementation.

Module 7:Minimizing Service Loss and Data Theft in a Campus Network.
Sections in module seven deal exclusively with security issues. Topics in the module include:
switch Security Issues, Switch and Layer 2 security as a subset of an overall network security plan, How a rogue device gains unauthorized access to a network, Categorize switch attack types and list mitigation options, How a MAC flooding attack overflows a CAM Campus, Backbone Layer table
Module 8: Accommodating Voice and video in Campus Networks
Training module eight deals with voice and video in campus networks:
Integrating and Verifying VoIP in a Campus Infrastructure, Plan for VoIP requirements, Voice VLANs,Configure and Verify Voice VLANs, Plan PoE requirements and configure PoE, Provide additional services required by VoIP devices
Module 9:Integrating Wireless LANS into a Campus Network
This section deal with the importance of Wireless LANs in the campus network:
Assessing the Impact of WLANs on Campus Networks,WLAN implementations, Compare WLAN solutions, Assess traffic flow and impact on the campus LAN of an autonomous AP configuration and a controller-based configuration
The course employs the use of 15 labs in order to demonstrate the ability of the student and display components working with a hands-on approach.

Testimonials:
"The instructor was excellent, his teaching style and re-enforcing the topics with examples worked well . It has been the best training I have ever had including location of the hotel to the training room, the food service (very good too) that saved many hours a day and the equipment was perfect for the tasks required of it. Getting out of class at 10:30pm and being able to walk over to the room and starting the studying at 10:45pm was such a big help. Was it easy? Not at all, it took discipline before the class (on-line sessions) 45+ hours and during the class. I went to bed at 1am or later each night and was up a going by 5:30am every day. Was I tired each day? Yeah but I signed up for a Boot Camp not a Skillpath Happy Hour. I got to catch up on my sleep Saturday PM AFTER I had the two exams passed!! Also the staff were exceptional; responsive and handled everything right away."
