Ethernet 101
1 Day Instructor Led Hands On Lab Class
Course Description:
Knowing the fundamentals of Layer 2 Ethernet and Ethernet Switching is vital to
anyone who is in the networking field today, whether it be Service Provider
level or Enterprise level. This insightful and revealing course has been
designed to focus on the systems approach, the engineering thinking behind the
Ethernet protocol and Ethernet Switching.
The course is a combination of knowledge training, systems analysis, with
hands-on exercises using Cisco routers and Cisco IOS, revealing the details of
Ethernet and Ethernet Switching in a swift, comprehensive, and understandable
way.
