Chapter 7 Configuring and Verifying Switch Interfaces

This chapter covers the following exam topics:

1.0 Network Fundamentals

1.1 Explain the role and function of network components

1.1.b Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches

1.3 Compare physical interface and cabling types

1.3.b Connections (Ethernet shared media and point-to-point)

1.4 Identify interface and cable issues (collisions, errors, mismatch duplex, and/or speed)

The chapters in Part II of this book move back and forth between switch administration and core switch functions. In Chapter 4, “Using the Command-Line Interface,” you read about the fundamentals of the command-line interface (CLI) and how to use commands that configure and verify switch features. In Chapter 5, “Analyzing Ethernet ...
