Internetworking Multilayer Switches (IMS) is a 5 day class designed to train participants in intermediate to advanced topics using multilayer switches in an enterprise. This one hour webinar will provide a high level overview of class contents and activities and will cover the following topics.

1. Overview of Layer 2-7 switching
2. Layer 2 switches: forwarding tables, classic and rapid spanning tree, VLANs and IEEE 802.1Q and 802.1p, IEEE 802.1s multiple instance spanning tree
3. Layer 3 switches: VLANs, routing, multilayer switching, routers vs. L-3 switches
4. Enterprise layers in a campus area network design
5. Routing protocols RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BGP4
6. Security: Access Control Lists, L-2 switch security, IEEE 802.1X
7. Multicasting: IGMP, Layer 2 and 3 multicasting, PIM
8. CoS and QoS: IEEE 802.1p, DSCP, port trust, queueing mechanisms
9. WAN: Circuit-switched vs. packet switched, IPSec, MPLS
10. Wireless LANs: IEEE 802.11, multiple SSIDs and VLANs, QoS, authentication
11. IPv6: Addresses, major differences to IPv4, transition schemes IPv4 to IPv6
