Networking CourseCisco

Switching Security Features

In today’s environment, where network-based attacks are increasing, network engineers need to understand different methods for securing switching infrastructure. This course introduces three important switch security features: Port Security, DHCP Snooping, and Dynamic ARP Inspection. Learners will understand the types of attacks these features help prevent, how they are configured, and how to monitor their operation in a network environment. The course also includes a live Cisco lab demonstration, showing these security features in action. In addition, learners will be introduced to AAA and how it can be used to protect the Management Plane of switches and routers.

Keith Bogart

Course Instructor

Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
