Students will learn to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions using Cisco's Campus Enterprise Architecture. The course also covers secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice and video traffic into campus networks.

Upon completing the course,you will be able to:
-Analyze campus network designs
-Implement VLANs in a network campus
-Implement spanning tree
-Implement inter-VLAN routing in a campus network
-Implement a highly available network
-Implement high-availability technologies and techniques using multilayer switches
-Implement security features in a switched network
-Integrate WLANs into a campus network
-Accommodate voice and video in campus networks

The course is broken down into these modules:
Module 0: Course Overview
Module 1: Analyzing Campus Network Designs
Module 2: Implementing VLANs in Campus Networks
Module 3: Implementing Spanning Tree
Module 4: Implementing Inter-VLAN Routing
Module 5: Implementing First Hop Redundancy in a Campus Environment
Module 6: Implementing a Highly Available Network
Module 7: Minimizing Service Loss and Data Theft in a Campus Network
Module 8: Integrating Wireless LANs into a Campus Network
