Advanced Cisco Campus Switching

Hands-On Catalyst 6000 series labs!

Catalyst switches are taking on a major role in the modern corporate network environments. While there are many resources for the basics of switching, there is little opportunity to learn about the advanced and emerging features available for the Cisco Catalyst product line.

 

Advanced Cisco Catalyst Switching (ACCS) is a 5-day class that is designed to help network administrators and designers understand and use Catalyst switches and advanced switching features in network deployments. The course features the Catalyst 6000 series switch as well as products from the 3500XL series, 5000 series, and the 2948G-L3 switch representing the 4000 series line.

ACCS focuses on how to configure switches for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic switching and management. This course goes beyond the basics to include information about switching options like Dynamic VLANs, GVRP, Private VLANs, VLAN access control lists, and Quality of service options.

This course explains the Catalyst product lines, the architectures used to support switching functions, options available to facilitate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching as well as an in-depth look at the Catalyst 6000 series family of switches including architecture, line cards, products, and operating system options.
