<h3>Advanced Ethernet switching training course description</h3>
 An advanced hands on switching course for those
already familiar with the basics such as STP and
VLANs. The course starts with advanced diagnostics
and network monitoring moving onto switch protocols.
A large part of the second day is spent implementing
QoS and security such as 802.1x.

 
				<h5>What will you learn</h5>
				<ul>
				 
 <li>Troubleshoot switching.</li>
											<li>Explain how a number of switch protocols work, including:
										
												UDLD 
												LLDP 
												LACP 
												DTP 
												VTP/MVRP 
 </li>
											<li>Design redundancy into switched networks.</li>
 <li>Implement QoS on switches.</li>
											<li>Harden switches.</li>
										</ul>
