Basic Switch/Router Configuration & Management

Course Overview

The TRNG-103 course is a comprehensive study of layer 2 and layer 3 features of Foundry Networks switches and routers. These features are common to the majority of Foundry's layer 2 and 3 devices. LAN, MAN, and WAN networks are configured in the labs. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to select appropriate Foundry devices, connect, configure, and troubleshoot them in LAN, MAN and WAN networks.

Audience

The course is designed for:

• Network Engineers from customers and resellers who are new to the Foundry Networks' products.
• Network Administrators responsible for implementing and managing small to large business networks
• Network support staff who will act as network device installers and first-line support for a local to global sized business environment
• Candidates preparing for the Foundry Networks Certified Network Engineer (FNCNE)

Skills Gained

At the end of this course the student will be able to:

• Identify where Foundry Products are used in a Typical Data Network
• Create Layer 2 and 3 Data Networks using Foundry Switches / Routers
• Configure and manage Foundry Switch / Router: interfaces, VLANs and protocols using the Command Line Interface (CLI)
• pgrade software images and files on Foundry Switch / Routers
• Interconnect Foundry Switch Routers based on a network design
• Configure Access Lists
• Trouble shoot using CLI show commands
