Features: Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks provides a comprehensive introduction to how routing and switching technologies work together. The book first defines the Cisco-recommended campus network design methodology. It then delves into Layer 2 switching technologies, including Spanning Tree, VLAN technology, Frame Relay, and Cisco proprietary support protocols such as VTP and DTP. Subsequently, the book introduces the Layer 3 routing services provided in the campus network, including inter-VLAN routing, multilayer switching, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), and multicast. Finally, the book also discusses various technical measures to enhance the security of switched campus network models, including setting passwords, local and remote login, modifying default privilege levels, and applying Layer 3 traffic management techniques in the campus network. Additionally, each chapter provides review questions to help readers assess their understanding of key concepts and guide them along the path to obtaining CCNP or CCDP certification.
