Course Overview
This course introduces technologies that allow networks to scale, it describes the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a large and complex networks. A review of switching technologies including VLANs, and inter-VLAN routing provides the foundation to explore spanning-tree and link-aggregation. A review of IPv4 and IPv6 routing fundamentals provides the foundation to explore Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing (EIGRP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocols. By the end of this course, students will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with OSPF, EIGRP, STP, and VTP in both IPv4 and IPv6 Networks. Included is a review of managing IOS images, configuration files and licensing.
