Administrators concerned with the operation or design of networks on the basis of ERS 8600 switches (marketed under the designation Passport 8600 in earlier times) can draw on a multitude of protocols and features to increase efficiency. To use them in an optimal manner, expertise in the handling of management tools and a well-based knowledge of protocol processes are imperative features. For efficient troubleshooting, ERS 8600 offers an easy-to-overview, graphics-orientated management interface with the Device Manager. The course gives the student a practice-orientated insight into the current switching technology and into the most important routing protocols. Moreover, it enables the students to configure these protocols in an actual network on the basis of ERS 8600 and to perform troubleshooting. A particular focus will be on the Device Manager.
