TE 270 - Routing, Switching and Wireless Essentials

Credit Hours: 4

Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials (SRWE) covers the architecture, components, and operations of routers and switches in small networks and introduces wireless local area networks (WLAN) and security concepts. Students learn how to configure and troubleshoot routers and switches for advanced functionality using security best practices and resolve common issues with protocols in both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The course includes activities using Packet Tracer, hands-on lab work, and a wide array of assessment types and tools.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Configure VLANs and Inter-VLAN routing applying security best practices.
Troubleshoot inter-VLAN routing on Layer 3 devices.
Configure redundancy on a switched network using STP and EtherChannel.
Troubleshoot EtherChannel on switched networks.
Explain how to support available and reliable networks using dynamic addressing and first-hop redundancy protocols.
Configure dynamic address allocation in IPv6 networks.
Configure WLANs using a WLC and L2 security best practices.
Configure switch security to mitigate LAN attacks.
Configure IPv4 and IPv6 static routing on routers
