CCNP Switching Certification
Overview
This course is a component of the Cisco CCNP Routing and Switching curriculum designed to help delegates to configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions for campus environments using the Cisco Enterprise Campus Architecture.
This course is network professionals who will need to correctly implement switch-based solutions given a network design using Cisco IOS services and features. Course content provides a firm understanding of how to manage switches in an enterprise campus environment. Training reinforces instruction by providing delegates with hands-on labs using live equipment.
Course Objective
Completion of this course, the delegate will be able to: Analyze campus network designs, Implement VLANs in a network campus, Implement spanning tree, Implement inter-VLAN routing in a campus network, Implement a highly available network, Implement high-availability technologies and techniques using, multilayer switches in a campus environment, Implement security features in a switched network, Integrate WLANs into a campus network, Accommodate voice and video in campus networks This course forms part of the following Cisco certifications Required, topics are covered for the Cisco exam: 642-813 SWITCH
