Chapter 7. Configuring Switches

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • An ounce of planning

  • Configuration overview

  • Initial configuration

  • Connecting the switches

  • Configuring the access layer

  • Configuring SNMP

Now that you have learned about the concepts behind Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching in some detail, you will focus on a start-to-finish configuration of a relatively simple campus switching design in this chapter.
