Enhancing Spanning Tree Protocol |
| Course Status: | Released | Courseware Features |
| Course Language: | English | |
| Course Duration: | 3 Hours | |
| Deployment Options: | Online, Interactive CDs, |
Audience |
| Network engineers responsible for configuring, implementing, troubleshooting, and managing a multilayer switched network in an enterprise or service provider environment; network architects responsible for designing multilayer switched networks to carry voice, video, and data traffic in an enterprise or service provider environment; CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP candidates. CCIE routing and switching candidates |
Prerequisites |
| Knowledge of basic router configuration, basic switch configuration, basic virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration, basic Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration, basic trunking configuration, and standard access list configuration |
Course Aim |
| In this learning series network administrators learn how to build networks using multilayer switching technologies over high-speed Ethernet. It includes both routing and switching, covering Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies. It is an online, self-guided series designed to correlate to Cisco's own instructor-led course BCMSN 2.0. BCMSN is part of the recommended training path for students seeking the Cisco CNNP®, CCDP®, CCIP™, and CCIE® certifications. |
Learning Objectives |
| To outline the operation and purpose of Spanning Tree Protocol enhancements, configure them on a switched network and tune and troubleshoot spanning tree on a multilayer switched network |
