About Advanced Routing and Switching course
This course is tailored for networking professionals ready to advance their knowledge of routing and switching. It covers essential topics like static and dynamic routing, giving you a thorough understanding of routing protocols such as RIP, EIGRP, and OSPF. You will learn how to configure connected routes, manage routing metrics, and explore advanced features like summarization and equal-cost multi-path (ECMP). Throughout the course, lab demos provide practical examples that solidify these complex concepts.
The switching section delves into Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), explaining their design and implementation, from trunk ports to Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) and VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP). You will also explore inter-VLAN routing and Layer 3 switching, crucial for building scalable, high-performance networks. The course includes in-depth coverage of the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), equipping you with the knowledge to manage network redundancy and prevent switching loops. This hands-on course prepares you to troubleshoot complex connectivity issues and manage dynamic routing protocols in real-world scenarios. By the end, you'll have mastered advanced routing and switching techniques, laying the groundwork for expert-level Cisco certification and network management roles. This course is ideal for networking professionals with a basic understanding of Cisco devices and routing. It is recommended for those aiming to deepen their expertise in routing and switching, especially those preparing for advanced Cisco certifications.
