Learn Network Switching For Cybersecurity With Hands-On Labs

Hi, I'm Chris and I am excited to help you learn network switching.  Did you know that network switching is one of the most important elements in a network? 

Why?  Switches are the entry-point where users, servers, and other devices connect to the network.  This means that for anything to communicate, a switch is involved. 

Network switching is an important area to learn and this is a great introduction that will help you build the foundation to learn more topics.
