What you'll learn

Learn to build scalable, highly available switching and routing infrastructures. In this course, Switching and Routing Core Configurations and Redundancy, you will see how to design and implement enterprise switching and routing architectures that are segmented, scalable, and resilient. First, you will discover how to configure VLANs and 802.1Q trunking, implement inter-VLAN routing, and verify proper traffic isolation. Next, you will explore how to deploy Layer 2 redundancy using Spanning Tree Protocol and EtherChannel with LACP to prevent loops and increase availability. Finally, you will learn how to configure and validate dynamic routing using OSPFv2, and compare static versus dynamic routing approaches based on scalability, operational overhead, and network stability. By the end of this course, you will have the skills and knowledge o design and configure resilient enterprise networks by mastering VLANs, trunking, Layer 2 redundancy, and dynamic routing with OSPF.
