Description

This is a 3-day hands-on Cisco course that provides students with the skills to configure, optimize, and troubleshoot a Cisco Meraki Switch solutions. Students will learn how to install and optimize Meraki MS Switches. Students will also learn how to configure the Meraki Switch Dashboard. Students will configure Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switch capabilities as well as OSPF, Multicast, Switchports, Link Aggregation, Port Mirroring, DHCP, QoS, Diagnose Clients and Firmware Upgrades. Student will troubleshoot and configure the Meraki Switch environment and learn how to diagnose and resolve user and Network issues that may arise.

  • Full Coverage of Meraki Switch Platform and Dashboard from Beginning to End
  • Course Updates with every revision of Meraki Dashboard and Firmware
  • Why not to put students in the Meraki EMCS2
    • Meraki ECMS2 is Static and is already out of Date with the Dashboard
    • ECMS2 spends 5 Hours on Switching
