This subject provides students with the knowledge they need to implement appropriate technologies to build scalable multilayer switched networks and switched networks using multilayer switching technologies. They will also be able to create and deploy a global intranet and implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This subject will enable students to learn how to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy and performance for LAN switching that is self supported or transported via a service provider.
No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2019.
