Requirements

  • Students should have basic understanding of LAN protocols and features prior Subscribing to this course
  • Real Switches are must for practicing Switching Labs.
  • Students can choose to subscribe to Rack Rentals (for practicing) from any website of their choice for Switching as these are not very costly and easily available.
  • This course contains Labs, so you may not find much theory. However, I've given summary at the end of every video. Must watch!

Description

Welcome to my course "Cisco CCNP - Switch course". My name is Ashish and I've spent last Several years working on Cisco LAN Devices. In that time, I found that there is huge need of  Professional Training  on LAN Switching and something that goes beyond the basics.   

I've prepared This course "LAN Switching" to address this need. First few lectures will show you the basic concepts like setting up Access, trunks, DTP, Ether channels etc. and After that more advanced topics like Root Guard, BackboneFast, RSPAN. 

In addition to video, each lecture is packed with Resources such as Summary lectures to continue your learning.   

My goal is to treat you like a professional you are, keep a good pace, provide the information you need and make sure whatever you learn can be practically applied in your own work.   

I found that there is a key difference between knowing about a feature and actually be familiar with what that feature does precisely and efficiently in your own work.   

I want to make you MASTER of LAN Switching.  Here is the list of topics covered in this course
