Cisco Enterprise Routing & Switching

The Compact Introduction to IOS XE

Cisco Platinum Learning Partner Logo

The Cisco Catalyst switches and routers are the basic systems for classic LAN and WAN structures. In this course, participants will learn the basic functions for the administration and maintenance of IOS components. In addition to the use of the IOS-XE, the relevant protocols for networking enterprise networks are presented and configured in a practical way in a test network with real Cisco routers and Cisco switches. At the end of the course, troubleshooting mechanisms are discussed and applied in the running test network.

Course Contents

  • Cisco router and switch hardware platforms
  • Basic configuration of switches and routers in IOS-XE
  • Maintenance tasks (file system, IOS updates)
  • Layer 2 switching and VLANs
  • Spanning tree protocols (Rapid-PVST+, MST)
  • EtherChannel
  • Concepts for inter-VLAN routing
  • First hop router redundancy (HSRP)
  • IP routing and routing protocols (static routes, OSPF)
  • System management (syslog, SNMP) and access protection
  • Access Control Lists (ACL)
  • Configuration of the WAN connection
  • NAT and PAT
  • Troubleshooting in the test network

The detailed digital documentation package, consisting of an e-book and PDF, is included in the price of the course.

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.

Tailor-made courses

You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
