Course Description Cisco Routing/Switching certifications focus on the growing need for knowledgeable network professionals who can implement complete network solutions. The range of available certifications enable candidates to validate their expertise in specific focused areas. This CCNP Part 1 - Routing & Switching course is a 5-day, lab-intensive course designed for delivery by Ascolta. This task-oriented course, taken with Cisco Certified Network Professional Part 2 - Optimization and Securing WAN Networks (CCNP2), teaches the knowledge and skills needed to achieve the CCNP certification. The Cisco Certified Network Professional Part 1 - Routing &Switching (CCNP1) course is a combination of the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) and Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) courses. Because of the accelerated nature of the course, be prepared for long days in class and a heavy study load. Also, not all material in the student manuals for each course will be reviewed in class. Students will have opportunities to ask questions on the material covered in the course kits that is not presented in class. The following are the descriptions of all included curricula presented separately. Course Content The CCNP1 students will learn how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network model. CCNP1 enables learners to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, security and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via a service provider. CCNP1 instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs. The goal is to train network administrators to grow a dramatically increased number of routers/sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added. Hands-on lab exercises allow the learner to practice configuration and troubleshooting knowledge and to acquire the skills necessary to configure Cisco routing and switching in an enterprise internetwork. Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build a scalable, routed and switched network. The purpose of this course is to enable a learner to achieve a mid-career professional-level competency. Course Outline Day 1: BCMSN - Network Requirements, Defining VLANs, Implementing Spanning Tree Module 1: BCMSN Network Requirements In this module, learners gain an understanding the Cisco hierarchical network model as it pertains to the campus network. Lesson 1: Introducing Campus Networks This lesson begins by discussing operational problems found in nonhierarchical networks at Layers 2 and 3 of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. The Enterprise Composite Network Model (ECNM) is then introduced, and the features and benefits of ECNM are explained. Learners will discover how issues that exist in traditionally designed networks can be resolved by applying this state-of-the-art design to their networks. The lesson includes these topics: IIN and Cisco SONA Framework Cisco Network Models Describing Nonhierarchical Campus Network Issues Describing Layer 2 Network Issues Describing Routed Network Issues What Is a Multilayer Switch? Issues with Multilayer Switches and VLANs in a Nonhierarchical Network The Enterprise Composite Network Model Benefits of the ECNM Describing the Campus Infrastructure Module Reviewing Switch Configuration Interfaces The lesson includes these activities: Quiz 1-1: Describing the Campus Infrastructure Module Lab 1-2: Getting Started with Cisco Catalyst Equipment Module 2: Defining VLANs This module defines the purpose of VLANs and describes how VLAN implementation can simplify network management and troubleshooting and can improve network performance. When VLANs are created, their names and descriptions are stored in a VLAN database that can be shared between switches. The learner will see how design considerations determine which VLANs will span all the switches in a network and which VLANs will remain local to a switch block. The configuration components of this module will describe how individual switch ports may carry traffic for one or more VLANs, depending on their configuration as access or trunk ports. This module explains both why and how VLAN implementation occurs in an enterprise network. Lesson 1: Implementing Best Practices for VLAN Topologies The lesson includes these topics: Describing Issues in a Poorly Designed Network Grouping Business Functions into VLANs Describing Interconnection Technologies Determining Equipment and Cabling Needs Mapping VLANs in a Hierarchical Network Considering Traffic Source to Destination Paths Lesson 2: Implementing VLANs VLANs are used to create logical broadcast domains and Layer 3 segments in a given network. A VLAN is considered a logical segment because the traffic it carries may traverse multiple physical network segments. This lesson will examine how switch ports can be statically configured to belong to one or more VLANs and how various ports on a single switch can belong to different VLANs. End-to-end VLANs will be differentiated from local VLANs. Local VLANs exist within the context of a single switch or switch block, whereas end-to-end VLANs span multiple network segments interconnected by switches. The lesson includes these topics: Describing End-to-End VLANs Describing Local VLANs Benefits of Local VLANs in an Enterprise Campus Network VLAN Configuration Modes Explaining VLAN Access Ports Describing VLAN Implementation Commands Implementing a VLAN Lesson 3: Implementing Trunks Switch ports carrying traffic for multiple VLANs are called trunk ports. As frames from multiple VLANs traverse trunk ports, the switch must identify each frame to associate it with a given VLAN. This lesson will examine the differences between Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and 802.1Q, two protocols used to mark frames on a trunk link. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining VLAN Trunks Describing ISL Trunking Describing 802.1Q Trunking Explaining 802.1Q Native VLANs Explaining VLAN Ranges Describing Trunking Configuration Commands Configuring Trunking Lesson 4: Propagating VLAN Configurations with VTP When VLANs span multiple switches, a protocol is needed to accurately manage VLAN information at each switch. This protocol is referred to as VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) and is used to ensure that all switches in a given group, or VTP domain, have the same information about the VLANs present in that domain. This lesson will examine VTP and how it allows each switch to participate in the VTP domain. The VTP mode determines if and when updates are sent by a switch. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining VTP Domains Describing the VTP VTP Modes Describing VTP Pruning Describing VTP Operation Describing VTP Configuration Commands Configuring a VTP Management Domain Adding New Switches to an Existing VTP Domain Lesson 5: Correcting Common VLAN Configuration Errors When VLANs span multiple switches, there are configuration challenges and issues to be overcome. VLAN configuration problems include security issues related to the 802.1Q native VLAN and Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP). The lesson includes these topics: Describing Issues with 802.1Q Native VLANs Resolving Issues with 802.1Q Native VLANs Describing Trunk Link Problems Resolving Trunk Link Problems Common Problems with VTP Configuration Best Practice for VTP Configuration The lesson includes this activity: Lab 2-1: Configuring VLANs and VTP Module 3: Implementing Spanning Tree This module introduces the fundamentals of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operation in a switched network. The root bridge will be explained as well as how the root bridge and its backup are elected. Features for enhancing the performance of STP will be covered—namely, Rapid STP (RSTP) and Multiple STP (MSTP). The learner will discover how EtherChannel is configured and how it interoperates with STP. The module also provides guidelines on improving STP resiliency when network faults occur. Lesson 1: Describing the STP In a campus network where there are redundant links between switches, STP manages which links will provide an active Layer 2 path, which ones will be inactive, and which ones will provide redundancy in the case of active path failure. This lesson will examine the general components and operation of STP in a switched network. The lesson includes these topics: Describing Transparent Bridges Identifying Traffic Loops Explaining a Loop-Free Network Describing the 802.1D STP Describing the Root Bridge Describing Port Roles Explaining Enhancements to STP The lesson includes these activities: Lab 3-1: Configuring Primary and Backup Root Bridges Lesson 2: Implementing RSTP Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an improvement on the original 802.1D STP standard. RSTP provides much faster convergence when topology changes occur in a switched network. Through the use of specific port states, port roles, and link types, RSTP very quickly adapts to network topology transitions. A proposal and agreement process between neighbor switches is unique to RSTP. Also, Topology Change Notifications (TCNs) are transferred in a very different manner than they are in 802.1D STP operation. Configuration of RSTP is much the same as in 802.1D, except for a few variations and identifiable characteristics in the spanning tree verification commands. The lesson includes these topics: Describing the RSTP Describing RSTP Port States Describing RSTP Port Roles Explaining Edge Ports Describing RSTP Link Types Examining the RSTP BPDU Identifying the RSTP Proposal and Agreement Process Identifying the RSTP TCN Process Describing PVRST Implementation Commands Implementing PVRST Commands The lesson includes this activity: Lab 3-2: Implementing PVRST Lesson 3: Implementing MSTP Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) creates a single instance of spanning tree for each VLAN in the network. This may impose a processing load on a switch when many VLANs are present. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) reduces this loading by allowing a single instance of spanning tree to run for multiple VLANs. Specific configuration and verification steps must be followed to properly implement MSTP. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining MSTP Describing MSTP Regions Describing the Extended System ID Interacting Between MSTP Regions and 802.1Q Describing MSTP Implementation Commands Configuring and Verifying MSTP The lesson includes these activities: Lab 3-3: Implementing MST Lesson 4: Configuring Link Aggregation with EtherChannel When multiple physical links exist between two switches, these links can be bundled into a single logical link that provides high aggregate bandwidth and fault tolerance for interswitch connectivity. This lesson will examine the specifics of EtherChannel. The lesson includes these topics: Describing EtherChannel Describing the PAgP and LACP Protocols Describing EtherChannel Configuration Configuring Port Channels Using EtherChannel Configuring Load Balancing over EtherChannel The lesson includes these activities: Lab 3-4: Configuring EtherChannel Lab 3-5: Troubleshooting Spanning Tree
Day 2: BCMSN - Implementing Inter-VLAN Routing, Implementing High Availability in a Campus Environment, Wireless LANs Module 4: Implementing Inter-VLAN Routing A switch with multiple VLANs requires a means of passing Layer 3 traffic between those VLANs. This module describes both the process and various methods of routing traffic from VLAN to VLAN. A router that is external to the Layer 2 switch hosting the VLANs can provide the inter-VLAN routing. When routing occurs within a Cisco Catalyst multilayer switch, Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is deployed to facilitate Layer 3 switching through hardware-based tables, providing an optimal packet-forwarding process. When CEF is implemented, routing is enabled between VLANs through the configuration of switch virtual interfaces (SVIs) associated with the various VLANs on the multilayer switch. Lesson 1: Describing Routing Between VLANs Layer 2 switching involves processing frames with respect to their data link layer headers. Information from those headers is stored within the content addressable memory (CAM) table in the switch, which in turn provides the information required to make the forwarding decisions as frames traverse the switch. When multiple Layer 2 VLANs are configured on a switch, a Layer 3 process is required for inter-VLAN communication. VLAN-to-VLAN packet transfer can occur on a Layer 3 device external to the switch. The lesson includes these topics: Inter-VLAN Routing Using an External Router Describing Inter-VLAN Routing Using External Router Configuration Commands Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing Using an External Router Explaining Multilayer Switching Frame Rewrite Quiz 4-1: Describing Routing Between VLANs Lesson 2: Enabling Routing Between VLANs on a Multilayer Switch When multiple VLANs are configured on a multilayer switch, routing between those VLANs can occur on the switch itself through the configuration of Layer 3 switch virtual interfaces (SVIs). SVIs are configured and verified using Layer 3 Cisco IOS commands to facilitate inter- VLAN routing on a multilayer switch. It is also possible to convert Layer 2 switch ports to operate as Layer 3 interfaces. The lesson includes these topics: Describing Layer 3 SVI Describing Configuration Commands for Inter-VLAN Communication on a Multilayer Switch Configuring Inter-VLAN Routing on a Multilayer Switch Describing Configuration Commands for Routed Ports on a Multilayer Switch Describing Routed Ports on a Multilayer Switch Configuring Routed Ports on a Multilayer Switch Lesson 3: Deploying CEF-Based Multilayer Switching Layer 3 switching provides a wire-speed mechanism by which to route packets between VLANs using tables that store Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding information in hardware. Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) is the most efficient means of providing Layer 3 switching on a multilayer switch. CEF uses a very specific process to build forwarding tables in hardware and then uses that table information to forward packets at line speed. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining Layer 3 Switch Processing Explaining CEF-Based Multilayer Switches Identifying the Multilayer Switch Packet Forwarding Process Describing CEF Configuration Commands Enabling CEF-Based MLS Describing Common CEF Problems and Solutions Describing CEF Troubleshooting Commands Troubleshooting Layer 3 CEF-Based MLS The lesson includes these activities: Lab 4-2: Routing Between VLANs Module 5: Implementing High Availability in a Campus Environment A network with high availability provides alternative means by which all infrastructure paths and key servers can be accessed at all times. The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is one of those software features that can be configured to provide Layer 3 redundancy to network hosts. HSRP optimization provides immediate or link-specific failover as well as a recovery mechanism. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) are derivatives of HSRP, providing additional Layer 3 redundancy features, such as load balancing. Lesson 1: Configuring Layer 3 Redundancy with HSRP Businesses and consumers that rely on intranet and Internet services for their mission-critical communications require and expect their networks and applications to be continuously available to them. Customers can satisfy their demands for near-100 percent network uptime if they leverage the HSRP in Cisco IOS software. HSRP provides network redundancy for IP networks in a manner that ensures that user traffic immediately and transparently recovers from first-hop failures in network edge devices or access circuits. However, routing issues exist as we examine various means of providing redundancy for the default gateway of each segment. Because of this, HSRP has very specific attributes that warrant further description, as does a delineation of HSRP operations on the network. HSRP interfaces transition through a series of states as they find their role in the capacity of active or standby HSRP router. The lesson includes these topics Describing Routing Issues Identifying the Router Redundancy Process Describing HSRP Identifying HSRP Operations Describing HSRP States Describing HSRP Configuration Commands Enabling HSRP Lesson 2: Optimizing HSRP HSRP has options that allow it to be configured to define the order in which the active and standby router are selected for expedited failover, for recovery from failover, and to specify which interface is to be monitored for HSRP failover. Specific commands are used to optimize and tune HSRP operations for greatest failover resiliency. There is also a set of commands for verifying and debugging HSRP general and optimized operations. The lesson includes these topics: Describing HSRP Optimization Options Tuning HSRP Operations Describing Load Sharing Describing HSRP Debug Commands Debugging HSRP Operations Lab 5-1: Enabling and Optimizing HSRP Lesson 3: Configuring Layer 3 Redundancy with VRRP and GLBP As the name would imply, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) provides router interface failover in a manner similar to HSRP but with added features and IEEE compatibility. The process by which VRRP operates is defined in this lesson. The Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) and its operations will be defined and differentiated from both HSRP and VRRP. Specific commands are used to implement and to verify VRRP and GLBP.

Day 3: BCMSN - Configuring Campus Switches to Support Voice, Minimizing Service Loss and Data Theft in a Campus Network, BSCI - Network Requirements, Configuring EIGRP Module 7: Configuring Campus Switches to Support Voice When migrating to a VoIP network, all network requirements, including power and capacity planning, must be examined. In addition, congestion avoidance techniques should be implemented. This module will highlight the basic issues and define initial steps to take to ensure that the VoIP implementation works correctly. Lesson 1: Planning for Implementation of Voice in a Campus Network IP telephony services are often provided over the campus infrastructure. To have data and voice application traffic harmoniously coexist, mechanisms must be set in place to differentiate traffic and to offer priority processing to delay sensitive voice traffic. Quality of service (QoS) policies mark and qualify traffic as it traverses the campus switch blocks. Specific VLANs keep voice traffic separate from other data to ensure that it is carried through the network with special handling and with minimal delay. Specific design and implementation considerations should be made at all campus switches supporting VoIP. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining Converged Network Benefits Describing VoIP Network Components Explaining Traffic Characteristics of Voice and Data Describing VoIP Call Flow Explaining Auxiliary VLANs Describing QoS Explaining the Importance of High Availability for VoIP Explaining Power Requirements in Support of VoIP Lesson 2: Accommodating Voice Traffic on Campus Switches VoIP traffic and data will share the same infrastructure. To avoid congestion and subsequent intermittent VoIP communications, QoS must be configured as close to the end device as possible. To accomplish this, QoS trust boundaries must be configured. Several options are available to accomplish this task. This module will provide a brief overview of those options. The lesson includes these topics: QoS and Voice Traffic in the Campus Model LAN-Based Classification and Marking Describing QoS Trust Boundaries Configuring a Switch for Attachment of a Cisco IP Phone Describing Basic Switch Commands to Support Attachment of a Cisco IP Phone What Is Cisco AutoQoS VoIP?

These VLAN hopping attacks are best mitigated by close control of trunk links. Private VLANs (PVLANs) can be configured to establish security regions within a single VLAN without subnetting, and VLAN access control lists (VACLs) can be used to filter traffic within a VLAN. The lesson includes these topics: Explaining VLAN Hopping Mitigating VLAN Hopping VLAN Access Control Lists Configuring VACLs Explaining PVLANs Configuring PVLANs Lesson 3: Protecting Against Spoof Attacks DHCP, MAC, and Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing are all methods used to gain unauthorized access to a network or to redirect traffic for malicious purposes.

The lesson includes these topics: Describing a DHCP Spoof Attack Describing DHCP Snooping Configuring DHCP Snooping Describing ARP Spoofing Describing DAI Describing Commands to Configure DAI Protecting Against ARP Spoofing Attacks Lesson 4: Describing STP Security Mechanisms After STP operations are stable in a switched network, the administrator may want to guard against rogue switches being attached to the network because these switches may take on the role of the root or backup root bridge. Bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) guard, BPDU filtering, and root guard are features that attempt to contain the points at which switches and root bridges can be attached to the network. The lesson includes these topics: Protecting the Operation of STP Describing BPDU Guard Configuration Describing BPDU Filtering Configuration Describing Root Guard Describing Root Guard Configuration Commands Lesson 5: Preventing STP Forwarding Loops Spanning tree operations can be severely disrupted by links that pass traffic in one direction and not in the other direction. The Cisco Catalyst platform provides features to guard against this condition.
