Implementing Cisco IP Switched Networks (SWITCH) v2.0

SWITCH v2.0, 5 day ILT, includes major updates and follows an updated blueprint. However, note that this course does not cover all items listed on the blueprint. Some older topics have been removed or simplified, while several new IPv6 routing topics have been added. Course content has been adapted to Cisco IOS Software Release 15 and technically updated. Course also introduces new type of labs, called discovery labs. Discovery labs are instructor guided lab through which student explores new topics in an interactive way. All labs are developed only as virtual labs. To get the full course experience, you should cover everything, including Introduction, Discovery labs, Summary, and Module Self-Check.

  1. Describe the hierarchical campus structure, basic switch operation, use of SDM templates, PoE, and LLDP
  2. Implement VLANs, trunks, explain VTP, implement DHCP in IPv4 and IPv6 environment, and configure port aggregation
  3. Implement and optimize STP mechanism that best suits your network - PVSTP+, RPVSTP+, or MSTP
  4. Configure routing on a multilayer switch
  5. Configure NTP, SNMP, IP SLA, port mirroring, and verify StackWise and VSS operation
  6. Implement First Hop redundancy in IPv4 and IPv6 environments
  7. Secure campus network according to recommended practices
