Total TRILL training course description
A comprehensive look at Transparent Interconnection
of Lots of Links (TRILL). This TRILL course starts with
the problems in traditional switched networks then
moves onto to how TRILL solves these problems. As IS
-IS is key to loop free topologies in TRILL networks, this
protocol is also studied.
What will you learn
Explain the benefits of TRILL.
Explain how TRILL works.
Explain the role of IS-IS in TRILL.
Integrate TRILL into existing networks.
