Course Overview
This course develops the skills necessary to plan, install, configure and troubleshoot devices and protocols used to implement a scalable campus LAN. Building on the concepts developed in the Networking Fundamentals course in term one, this course prepares students for the Industrial Networking course in the following five-week term. Topics include: deployment of wireless services using Wireless LAN controllers, Spanning-tree Protocol (STP), First-Hop Redundancy for hosts on subnets, port aggregation, link-state routing protocol versus distance vector routing protocol operations, device discovery tools, logging services, and switch port security.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe a campus LAN design that includes redundancy, fault tolerance, scalability, and security. (2)
- Describe procedures for backing up, restoring, and upgrading IOS images and configuration files. (2)
- Implement port security features on a Cisco switch. (3)
- Activate Network Time Protocol (NTP) features along with logging services (Syslog). (3)
- Employ device discovery protocols (Cisco Discovery Protocol and Link Layer Discovery Protocol) as a troubleshooting tool. (4)
- Customize Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) settings to accommodate multiple Virtual LANs. (3)
- Configure First-Hop Redundancy on VLANs (HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP). (3)
- Configure port aggregation to implement greater bandwidth connections (Ether-Channel). (3)
- Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) as a dynamic routing protocol within the LAN. (3)
