Ethernet Switching and Routing
Master essential networking concepts including VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, and OSPF routing for better network management and CCNA certification preparation.
Master essential networking concepts including VLANs, STP, EtherChannel, and OSPF routing for better network management and CCNA certification preparation.
This comprehensive course delves into Ethernet switching and routing fundamentals, providing a thorough understanding of network management concepts. Beginning with Ethernet switching basics, you'll explore Layer 2 and multilayer switches, MAC address tables, and neighbor discovery protocols like CDP and LLDP. The course then covers Virtual LANs (VLANs) implementation for network segmentation, trunking configurations for efficient VLAN communication, and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) features for preventing network loops. As you progress, you'll learn advanced concepts such as EtherChannel for link aggregation, static and dynamic routing techniques, and the OSPFv2 protocol with its neighbor formation and LSA types. The course concludes with First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) including HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP for ensuring high network availability. Through practical configurations and real-world scenarios, you'll gain the skills to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex network environments confidently.
