SMPTE Virtual Classroom - Routing & Switching Essentials

Summary

Building upon concepts from “Introduction to Networks”, “Routing and Switching Essentials” covers the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in a small network. Participants learn how to configure a router and a switch for basic functionality. By the end of this course, participants will be able to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches and resolve common issues with single area and multi-area OSPF, virtual LANs, and inter-VLAN routing in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Participants who complete the Routing and Switching Essentials course will be able to perform the following functions

    - Determine how a router will forward traffic based on the contents of a routing table.
    - Explain how switching operates in a small to medium-sized business network.
    - Use monitoring tools and network management protocols to troubleshoot data networks.
    - Configure monitoring tools available for small to medium-sized business networks.
    - Configure initial settings on a network device.
    - Configure Ethernet switch ports.
    - Implement VLANs.
    - Implement static routing.
    - Implement DHCP on a router.
    - Implement network address translation (NAT).
    - Implement access control lists (ACLs) to filter traffic.
