The essential guide for understanding Ethernet switched networks
Understand various Ethernet technologies from 10BASE-T to Gigabit Ethernet
Learn about common switching modes, paths, and architectures
Delve into the Cisco Catalyst switch architecture and examine thevarious Catalyst switch models, including the 6000/6500, 4500, and 3750
Become familiar with VLAN concepts, including types of trunks, VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and private VLANs
Understand Multilayer Switching (MLS) and the various hardware components that make MLS work
Learn how to configure Cisco Catalyst switches in both native and hybrid mode
Implement QoS on Cisco Catalyst switches
Deploy multicast features and protocols, including PIM, IGMP snooping, and CGMP
Utilize data link layer features such as BPDU Guard, BPDU Filter, Root Guard, Loop Guard, RSTP, and MST
Evaluate design and configuration best practices
Learn how to manage LANs and troubleshoot common problems
Local-area networks (LANs) are becoming increasingly congested andoverburdened because of a dramatic increase in traffic, faster CPUs andoperating systems, and more network-intensive applications. Manyorganizations that use network and computing technology use LANswitching to take advantage of high-speed traffic forwarding andimproved performance of traditional Ethernet technologies that don’trequire costly wiring upgrades or time-consuming host reconfiguration.>Cisco LAN Switching Fundamentals> provides administrators ofcampus networks with the most up-to-date introduction to LAN switchingwithin a traditional Ethernet environment.
>Cisco LAN Switching Fundamentals> presents an in-depth lookat modern campus network requirements. It provides aneasy-to-understand introduction to LAN switching best practices usingCisco Catalyst switches. This book provides you with a wealth ofdetails on the architecture, operation, and configuration of the CiscoCatalyst family of switches. You learn about a wide range of topics,including quality of service (QoS), multicast, Rapid Spanning TreeProtocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning Tree (MST), private virtual LANs(VLANs), and configuration using the native and hybrid softwareinterfaces. Design advice and configuration examples are discussedliberally throughout the book to provide you with the best perspectiveon effective deployment techniques. Finally, the book wraps up with adiscussion of steps necessary to troubleshoot common problems andoptimize LAN performance.
Whether you are looking for an introduction to LAN switchingprinciples and practices or a Cisco Catalyst configuration andtroubleshooting reference, this book provides you with the invaluableinsight you need to design and manage high-performance campus networks.
