This course is several hours in length and will cover Layer 2 switching in detail. I will explain the Technology and media access control method for Ethernet networks, network segmentation, switching concepts and the operation of Cisco switches.DISCLAIMER:Please note that the simulators/emulators used in this course are not part of the course. It is the students responsibility to have these to practice with. The Cisco Packet Tracer and/or VIRAL (Virtual Internet Routing Lab) are Cisco proprietary software and can only be obtained through Cisco. It is up to each student to obtain the simulator/emulator of their choice to study along with this course. Students will get a thorough understanding of switching and how we would implement it in a real world environment.We will discuss the following concepts switching services and rules we should follow when segmenting networks. We will also compare bridging vs. LAN switching focusing in great detail on the Spanning-tree protocol. We will look at the switch Functions at layer two, such as how a switch learns about the nodes on the network and how it makes its decisions to forward the information and most definitely how to secure our ports on the switches.Once get an understanding of how switches work and their administrative configurations we will then go into explain and creating vlans and inter-vlan connectivity and what would be the benefits of using VLANs on our network. You will learn the different port types and encapsulation methods we use when using vlans, and will fully understand the difference between trunking a port and the VTP protocol.This is a lecture based course using the Touch-IT Technology Smart board, which will make learning very interactive and engaging. Hands on labs will be used to drill down the concepts learned in each lecture using Cisco's Packet Tracer.My method will make you feel like you are sitting in a classroom environment and give the most needed hands on experience!

About this course
Once you finish my course, you will have a strong grasp on the switching concepts and the methods to use in different networking environments. You will be able to configure the cisco switch with all its administrative tasks, STP, RSTP, VTP and switch port security. You will learn how to improve the performance of the switches by turning off services on certain ports so information can start transmitting much quicker. The understanding of Layer2 concepts is an essential element for any Networking and/or IT Professional. This course will prepare the student for any networking certification such as N+, CCNA, MCSE to include any Computer Science Degree
Mastering this knowledge will make the student, Networking and/or IT Professional a much more valuable asset in any IT environment

Layer 2 Switching
4 lectures01:05:57Introduction to layer 2 switching This Lesson is an overview of the subjects that you will be learning in this course.How the switch populates its MAC address table In this lesson I will demonstrate using the Packet Tracer how exactly, a switch learns MAC addresses from the nodes that are connected to it.
Switching Loops at layer 2 This lesson will explain how having redundant switch connections you could have loops at layer 2 and the protocol that will help you prevent those loops.Port Security This lesson will show you how to configure security on individual or a range of ports, to only allow a certain number of mac address on those ports.
