22. Layer 3 Switching

In this episode, Ronnie and Don take a look at some of the benefits and features of Layer 3 switches. They also discuss the limitations of using Layer 3 switches. The guys also show a basic inter-vlan configuration on a Layer 3 switch.

21. First-Hop Redundancy Part 2

In Cisco switches, this time covering the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol or VRRP. Just like HSRP, VRRP allows you to set up standby switches to take over in the case of a failure with the main switch. Also, they go over the topic of load balancing using the Gateway Load Balancing Protocol(GLBP).

20. First-Hop Redundancy

In this episode, Don and Daniel explain how you can set up your switch network to survive a failure using the Hot-Standby Redundancy Protocol (HSRP). Watch as they explain how to HRSP is designed to work by creating a network of switches that are ready at a moments notice to take over for a failed switch and then show you how to actually configure HSRP in your network.

19. Switch Security Part 4

In this episode, Don and Daniel finish out the switch security series with Private VLANs and Storm Control. Here they explain how you can use Private VLANs to isolate devices that are sharing the same switch without needing to route as in traditional VLANs. Then they finish by explaining how you can use Storm Control to eliminate accidental, or intentional broadcast storms.

18. Switch Security Part 3

In this episode, Daniel and Don continue switch security, this time tackling port security for more granular control over what devices can access specific ports and disabling any ports experiencing unauthorized access. They then move into how to recover disabled ports back to working order using Err-Disable Recovery and finishing up with VLAN Access Control Lists.

17. Switch Security Part 2

In this episode, Daniel and Don continue switch security configurations moving into the topics of IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection. They explain how you can prevent IP Spoofing attacks using IP Source Guard and for MAC Spoofing or ARP poisoning attacks you can employ Dynamic ARP Inspection.

16. Switch Security Features

In this episode, Daniel and Don show you how to secure a network by employing DHCP Snooping. DHCP Snooping allows you to configure your network to only allow dynamic IP addressing from the ports you specify protecting you from attacks via a rogue DHCP server

15. Cisco StackWise

In this episode, Ronnie and Don introduce the Cisco StackWise technology. They discuss the advantage of using StackWise and it's benefits. They also show how to configure a StackWise Master and provision other switches in the StackWise cluster.

14. SPAN and RSPAN Part 2

In this episode, Daniel and Don explain and demonstrate how to monitor a switched network using Remote Switch Port Analyzer (RSPAN). Building upon SPAN, RSPAN enables you to monitor switches that you are not directly connected to. This episode covers how to configure RSPAN for the times when being physically connected to a switch that needs monitoring isn't feasible.

13. SPAN and RSPAN

In this episode, Daniel and Don explain and demonstrate how to monitor a switched network using Switch Port ANalyzer (SPAN). Here they detail reasons why you may wish to monitor network traffic and then walk you through configuring SPAN on a Cisco switch for those very reasons.

12. Spanning Tree Part 4

In this episode, Don and Daniel go over some of the enhancements to the Spanning Tree Protocol. They walk you through technologies like PortFast, BPDUguard and BPDUfilter, LoopGuard, and RootGuard. All of these technologies can help you optimize and/or secure your switched network running STP.

11. Spanning Tree Part 3

In this episode, Daniel and Don explain the switch loop prevention system called Spanning Tree Protocol found in Cisco switches.
