1-Day Instructor Led Hands On Lab Class Available in either Web Based delivery or On-Site Delivery Minimum 8 students – Maximum 16 students |
Course Description:
Ethernet was invented as a Local Area Network protocol that busted the ceiling of bandwidth at the time (1980’s). Today Ethernet is more than a LAN protocol. It runs in metropolitan networks, and even as a Wide Area Network service. Having hands-on experience configuring and observing how Ethernet, VLANs, and Ethernet switching works is crucial in operating a network today. This swift, one day, 8 hr. class uses a “follow me” learning approach to build skills, the student will get a clear understanding of Ethernet at Layer 2.
Course Objectives:
To develop a “hands-on” skill set targeted at Ethernet, Ethernet Switching and VLAN networking in the following key areas:
- Ethernet 802.x
- Local Area Networking
- MAC Addressing format, learning, unlearning
- Ethernet Network Topologies and Cabling Options
- Loop Prevention in Ethernet networks
- Broadcast Domains
- Virtual LANs
Audience:
The target audience for this course is anyone in Engineering, Test, Customer Support, Technical Marketing, or even Sales and Marketing that requires a solid and complete understanding of the fundamental operations of Ethernet and Ethernet Switching and desires hands-on skills that can be applied to their job function.
Ideal candidates are:
- Operations individuals that will provide Ethernet configuration and support services
- Network Design Engineers that need to understand Ethernet and Ethernet VLANs
- Network Management individuals that are providing element and network management tools
- Technical sales individuals that must be able to correlate features with functionality
- Technical marketing individuals that want more than just a basic understanding of Ethernet
- Certification Track individuals that need to expand their knowledge and studies
