Learn to implement campus networks using multilayer switching
technologies over high-speed Ethernet and wireless topologies. This
course addresses the integration of routing and switching
technologies to create an efficient campus network. Design, build,
and configure a campus network with device and link redundancy for
high reliability, while maintaining the performance to meet today's
demanding application requirements, such as voice, video, and
secure wireless technologies. Learn to choose and configure the
necessary Layer 2 and 3 protocols and features to guarantee
constant access.
Technologies such as Spanning Tree, Rapid Spanning Tree
(802.1W), Multiple Spanning Tree (802.1S), Uplinkfast and
Backbonefast will be covered in detail to determine how to optimize
a network's convergence times in the event a physical path fails.
Also learn how to get more bandwidth between network devices by
configuring EtherChannel. Learn the advantages of and how to
configure and troubleshoot HSRP, convergence of voice, video and
data in a real-time environment, and QoS. Configure basic security
options such as 802.1x, Port security, BPDU guard, and DHCP spoof
attack prevention.
This package includes recorded lab demonstrations, allowing you
to get exposure to and comprehension of the details of each lab,
access to Self Test Software's exam prep products and one FREE exam
voucher.

Practice Quiz: Describing the Campus Infrastructure
Module
Given diagrams of the Enterprise Composite Network model, the
Enterprise Campus submodules, and Campus Infrastructure module,
students will correctly identify the functions and relationships of
the components in these diagrams.
Lab 1-2: Getting started with Cisco Catalyst
Equipment
Login and establish a connection to the
Client PC/Router, build an access switch, and build a distribution
switch. Provide a base configuration for the Catalyst 2950s and
Catalyst 3550s.
Lab 2: Configuring VLANs and VTP
Configure the Cisco's VTP protocol, including the effect of
different VTP modes. Enable 802.1q trunking between switches and
restrict the trunk to only the necessary VLANs. Create multiple
VLANs for use by users and as a management VLAN for the switches.
Associate ports to the newly created VLANs.
Lab 3-1: Configuring Primary and Backup Root
Bridges
Configure a new primary root bridge and a
backup root bridge on each VLAN so that the loop free topology uses
the root bridge as a reference point.
Lab 3-2: Implementing Rapid-PVST Spanning Tree
Protocol
Implement the Rapid-PVST Spanning Tree
Protocol and learn to configure Rapid-PVST in access and
distribution switches.
Lab 3-3: Implementing Multiple Spanning Tree
(MST)
This activity helps familiarize you with MST implementation and
tuning as you configure MST on the building access and building
distribution switches and verify the configuration.
Lab 3-4: Configuring EtherChannel
Configure EtherChannel on the distribution switches to shorten the
time for spanning tree to converge after a network event and to
better use available bandwidth.
Lab 3-5: Troubleshooting Spanning Tree
Troubleshoot trunks and VLANs in a multi-VLAN environment.
Quiz 4-1: Describing Routing Between
VLANs
Answer questions about routing in a given LAN setup. Correctly
describe routing and performance enhancements of multilayer
switches between VLANs.
Lab 4-2: Routing Between VLANs
In the previous lab activities, you configured the building
distribution switches to support multiple VLANS. In this lab, you
will set up multilayer features of the switch to support routing
between these VLANS.
Lab 5-1: Enabling and Optimizing HSRP
Configure HSRP on the router to support routing redundancy in case
of a distribution switch failure.
Lab 6-1: Configuring Switches of WLANs
Configure the switch to provide DHCP services and configure VLANs
on the switch to support wireless access.
Lab 6-2: Setting up the Wireless LAN
Controller
Using the CLI, create a basic configuration for the WLAN controller
to establish console management connectivity to the controller,
become familiar with the startup wizard that runs on initial
startup, and complete the necessary steps to establish an SSL web
connection to the controller.
Lab 6-3: Configuring the Wireless LAN Controller via the
Web Browser
Use the web browser to configure the
wireless LAN controller. Open the web browser and connect to the
controller by entering the IP address of the controller.
Lab 7-1: Configuring IP Telephony Support
Configure access ports to carry voice traffic in 802.1Q frames
using the auxiliary/Voice VLAN capability of the switch ports.
Case Study 8-1: Apply Security Practices to Secure
Devices in the Campus
In a case study, you will examine a common network environment for
the types of security threats that might be present and suggest
potential remedies.
Case Study 8-2: Using Security Tools to Secure Devices
in the Campus
You will be asked to evaluate a network attack in progress and
suggest the appropriate security tactic to reduce or remove the
security threat.
Lab 8-3: Applying Security Tools
Configure the devices to prevent attacks and reduce the potential
risk for network service interruption or data loss.
