This is the Course Overview video where we discuss what we're going to cover in this course over the next few hours. Now these are the requirements for the Cisco CCNP Switch 642-813 exam. This is one of the three required exams to get the CCNP Certification, the other two being the Route and the Troubleshooting exam. I'll put a little plug in here and say that if you haven't gotten the other two exams in the CCNP course, they're both available from VTC and they're all lead by yours truly. So in this course we're going to start off covering basic switching, we'll cover some basic network models, everything from the simple all the way up to the Cisco Three Level Model System. We'll talk about VLANS and VLAN Trunking and how they can be used to reduce some of your network overhead. We'll move onto Spanning Tree and the lab where we take all of those concepts and just put them into a big blender and hit frappe. We'll then move onto some of the more advanced switching topics, mainly Rapid Spanning Tree, how it differs from regular Spanning Tree and why you really should use it in a production network. We'll also talk about EtherChannel which is bundling multiple physical connections between switches together to make one large logical channel. And we'll also talk about Private VLANs and how they can be used to increase your network security. Moving on from that we'll talk about Inter-VLAN Routing and the two methods to achieve said Inter-VLAN Routing. We'll then move on to talk about High Availability and we'll discuss the three First Hop Redundancy Protocols, namely HSRP, VRRP and GLBP. We'll then give a brief overview of Switch Supervisor Redundancy and the large Chassis Switches, the 4500 and the 6500 Series Switches. We'll then start talking about some of the security topics in the CCNP Switch. We'll first off talk about individual switch security, basically port security, how to keep your users from doing funny things with your network. Talk about Spoofing Attacks, the various methods of Spoofing Attacks that can bring down your network and bring down your switch and we'll talk about a way to prevent said Spoofing Attacks. We'll then move onto some of the more Network Centric Security topics, namely how to protect VLANs using VLAN Access Lists. We'll talk about how to protect the Spanning Tree Protocol using some of the Root Guard and Loop Guard prevention topics. We'll then talk about Radius Security and the steps you would need to use to enforce 802.1x Port Security on your network. And we'll end up the security section talking about some of the best practices that has been agreed on over several years of securing switches. We'll then talk about integrating advanced services into your network. We'll talk about Power over Ethernet and how it really enables the other two advanced services which are Voice Over IP and wireless. And again, this is not a Voice Over IP or wireless course, the focus of this advanced services section is merely how to prepare your Layer 2 and Layer 3 switched network for these advanced services. We'll then move onto talk about Network Monitoring, we'll talk about Syslogging and SNMP and we'll end up talking about IPSLA which is perhaps one of the coolest Network Monitoring subjects out there. And that is an overview of what we're going to cover in this course.
