IP Routing & Switching

Course Duration

2-day instructor-led training


Course Objectives
To equip trainees with in-depth understandings and practical knowledge of IP routing and switching technology that are normally not available from standard vendor training sessions.


Course Overview

When your business relies on a solidly functioning IP network, it's not the time to forget about the foundation upon which it is built.

Understanding the basic and advanced principles of routing and switching can make a difference when your network must support real-time services like streaming video, Voice over IP, e-learning or even be properly secured against hackers.

This routing and switching course lays a solid foundation for dealing with the choice of routing protocols and their efficient operation, route redistribution, implementation of VLANs to increase security and contain broadcast traffic, ensuring that your IP infrastructure can support advanced services through the understanding of effective topologies and bandwidth requirements, and providing you with insights that will help with the implementation of network security. Whether you are a seasoned network professional looking for a refresher or new to the business of networking, don't miss this opportunity to master the fundamentals before deploying advanced services on your network.


Key Benefits

IT executives will benefit from the class by gaining an understanding and appreciation of the issues that their staff will face during deployment and network maintenance.
