Module Overview

Advanced Switching and Routing

The aim of this module is to: To give students practical skills to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise LAN, WAN and IPv6 routing solutions, using a range of routing protocols. To give students a theoretical understanding of scalable technologies used in building large internetworks such as OSPF and BGP. To give students a theoretical understanding of the techniques and technologies required to plan, configure, and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions, including support for branch offices and mobile workers. To give students practical skills to configure secure integration of VLANs, WLANs, voice, and video into campus networks.
