CISCO LAN SWITCHING VIDEO MENTOR

6+ Hours of Video Instruction

"Cisco LAN Switching Video Mentor is an excellent guide to configuring Cisco switches. Dave's videos are outstanding in their conciseness and relevance of content.

They hit the nail on the head every time!"” Geoff Tagg, President, INDT Ltd.

Cisco LAN Switching Video Mentor teaches you how to plan, configure and verify the implementation of complex enterprise switching solutions using Cisco's campus enterprise architecture. 

In the 20 videos presented in this product, best-selling author and CCIE network engineer David Hucaby walks you through common Cisco Catalyst switch configuration and troubleshooting tasks. Designed to develop and enhance hands-on skills, each 10 to 30-minute video guides you through essential configuration tasks on the Cisco Catalyst switches and shows you how to verify that network is working correctly. Each video lab presents detailed objectives, lab diagrams, command tables, and video captures.

Audio instruction throughout offers tips and shortcuts that truly make learning easy. Animated network diagrams show you lab setup, device addressing, and how traffic flows through the network. Video screen-casts of router CLI demonstrate command entry, configuration techniques, and device response.
