QQBMRX ACCS - Advanced Cisco Campus Switching
Detailed Overview/Outline 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 both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches. Switches in the class include the Catalyst 6000 series switch as well as products from the 3500XL series, 5000 series, and the 2948G-L3 switch. ACCS focuses on how to manage and configure switches for Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic switching and management. This course goes beyond the basics of configuring vlans and basic spanning tree to include information about switching options like Dynamic VLANs, GVRP, Private VLANs, VLAN access control lists, and Quality of service options. The course also discusses new enhancements to the STP and the emerging standards from the IEEE including 802.1X, 802.1r, and 802.1s.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. What You'll Learn in Class
Who Needs to Attend Course Outline Chapter 1 identifies the major switches in the Catalyst product line and the roles that switches play in the campus network. The chapter briefly discusses the different Operating systems available across platforms and how the switches and operating systems fall into design roles within a campus architecture. The chapter then goes onto discuss the 2950, 3550, 4000, and 6000 series switches with a detailed look at the modules avalible on the 6000 series the flow and operation of the architecture and the interoperability of components within the device. The topics within the chapter include:
2. Switch Operating Systems This chapter discusses the fundamentals of using the COS and IOS to configure and manage switches. The chapter describes the differences between various operating systems that run on the Catalyst family of switches. The chapter also describes basic configuration fundamentals.

The chapter also describes the FLASH filesystems available on the switch platform and how these are used to manage and store files. The chapter describes the movement of files between FLASH and TFTP servers and how to use ths to upgrade the switch operating system. Finally the chapter discusses how to recover from a lost operating system image. Topics in this chapter include:
4. VLAN Management and Support The purpose of this chapter is to review the use of a VLAN, to describe the configuration and assignment of VLANs using static and dynamic VLAN methods. To describe the Trunking mechanisms with close attention to the IEEE 802.1Q standard. To understand the Dynamic Trunking Protocol and which platforms support DTP. To review VTP and to describe the operation of the Generic VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) in management and configuration of VLANs and Trunk links. The chapter also describes how to manage bridge groups for routers and Layer 3 switches. The topics in this chapter include:
5. Spanning Tree Protocol This chapter focuses on enhancements to the spanning tree protocol that allows administrators to more effectively manage and control redundancy within the network. The chapter reviews basic STP operation then focuses on the modifications Cisco has implemented to improve convergence and prevent STP problems. The chapter then looks at the IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree standard to describe the operation. The chapter discusses methods of configureing the switch so that traffic can travel across all the links in the network. In particular the chapter discusses PVST+, MISTP, and the emerging standard 802.1s MST. Finally the chapter discusses Etherchannel as a load distribution technology. The topics in this chapter include the following topics:
6. Layer 3 Switching This chapter discusses the fundamentals of layer 3 switching and how the campus switch can provide Intervlan communication. The chapter discusses the different type of Layer 3 interfaces that are supported by various switches, the configuration of these interfaces, and some of the basic differences between the operation of these interfaces. The chapter also discusses the operation of MLS and CEF on the Catalyst 6000 series switches and the operational requirements of these components and how to verify operation. The FlexWAN module is discussed, in particular the module operation and configuration as well as functional requirements are discussed. The topics in this chapter include
7. Security and Traffic Control The purpose of this chapter is to learn to use security and traffic control features of the switch to enhance the operations of a the network. The chapter looks at ways of controlling access to the switch configuration interface as well as how to control access to the network ports. The chapter discusses filtering Traffic off a port based on the protocol type. The chapter then discusses how to configure the switch to control traffic using Private VLANs for COS or IOS switches and how to configure and apply VLAN access control lists for COS or IOS switches. The topics in this chapter include:
8. Quality of Service in Switches This chapter discusses the QOS features and capabilities of the Catalyst 6000 series switch. In particular the chapter dicusses the basics of QOS classification and the need for QOS in switched enviornmantes. The Chapter then discusses the operational flow of QOS within the 6000 by tracing the flow operation of QOS mechanisims and configuraitonal aspects of QOS. This includes using QOS access control lists to provide both layer 2 and layer 3 classification and using the switch to rate limit the traffic that flows through the device. The topics in this chapter include:
9. Catalyst 6000 Redundancy Options This chapter discusses redundancy for the Catalyst 6000 series switch. In particular the chapter describes the operation of supervisor redundancy on a switch running in Hybrid mode as well as a switch in Native mode. The chapter also reviews how to control and configure multiple active routes running in a Catalyst 6000 series switch. The chapter reviews Hot Standby Router Protocol and how to configure it for basic operation. The chapter also discusses power redundancy and fabric redundancy on the Catalyst 6000 series switch. The topics in this chapter include:
10. Installing and Working With Native IOS This chapter discusses how to install and use the Native IOS (or Supervisor IOS) to operate a Catalyst 6000 series switch.
