What you'll learn
Switches are fantastic devices, allowing you to create VLANs, trunks, as well as offer fast and somewhat private communication. In this course, Securing the Switch, you will explore the basic nature of switch operation, as well as the advent of trunk links, VLAN tags, and some backwards compatibility features. First, you will start off by learning about frame double-tagging. Next, you will move onto the native VLAN security issues and DTP. Finally, you will wrap up the course with a demonstration of creating a secure base configuration for a switch. By the end of this course, you will know how to put a secure base configuration on a switch, mitigating many layer 2 attacks against Ethernet.
