12 sections • 12 lectures • 50m total length
Requirements
- Basic understanding of networking concepts (IP addressing, VLANs, routing)
- Familiarity with CLI configuration (Cisco IOS is helpful)
- No advanced experience required — all configurations are explained step by step
- A willingness to follow along and learn hands-on
Description
In the real world, network design goes far beyond basic VLANs and static routing. This hands-on course takes you through a complete enterprise-grade lab environment — covering not just switching and routing, but firewall integration, HA failover, VLAN segmentation, and redundancy across dual data center
What You’ll Build & Learn:
VLAN segmentation and on enterprise-grade switches
FortiGate firewall initialization and high availability (HA) setup
LACP port-channel configuration (on switches and firewall)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
NAT, firewall policies, and outbound internet access
Real failover testing and verification of HA setup
Design considerations for dual-DC and campus connectivity
Who This Course Is For:Network engineers and IT professionals who want real-world configuration skills
Certification candidates (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, Fortinet NSE) seeking applied design labs
Anyone interested in how routing, switching, failover and firewalling integrate in production networks
Why This Course Is Different:
Unlike certification-only content, this course focuses on integration and architecture — exactly how modern networks are designed and built in enterprise environments.
You’ll get:
Step-by-step lab walkthroughs
Realistic topologies and design logic
Vendor-flexible thinking: FortiGate, Cisco
A clear view of how all layers work together
By the end of this course, you’ll have a strong foundation in building, validating, and understanding enterprise-grade network infrastructure — with practical skills you can apply immediately.
This course is based on a real-world enterprise lab series developed to give learners hands-on skills in routing, switching, firewalls, and high availability
Who this course is for:
- Network engineers and IT professionals who want hands-on, real-world enterprise experience
- Certification holders (CCNA, CCNP, Fortinet NSE, etc.) looking to bridge the gap between theory and practice
- System administrators and support engineers involved in campus or data center networking
- Anyone building lab environments for firewalls, VLANs, routing, and failover testing
- Professionals preparing for real-world design roles, not just passing exams
