Expand the switched network from a small LAN to a medium-sized LAN with multiple switches, supporting VLANs, trunking, and spanning tree.
Describe routing concepts as they apply to a medium-sized network and discuss considerations when implementing routing on the network.
Configure, verify, and troubleshoot OSPF.
Configure, verify, and troubleshoot EIGRP.
