Campus Networking

Organized by:

The Internet Education and Research Laboratory and National Agency for Science and Technology Information

Objectives:

· To train thirty (30) network engineers from member institutions of the Vietnam Research and Education Network on the topic of campus networking and related topics;

· To train network engineering staff on how to develop a strategic design plan for their campus networks;

· To impart implementing best practices in campus network design, with particular emphasis on layers 1 and 2; and

· To improve technical skills with network personnel in operating their physical network

Finances:

A local participation fee shall be collected to defray expenses on food (lunch breaks and coffee breaks), computer rentals, materials, and other miscellaneous expenses which shall be incurred related to participation of locals.

Registration Fees: 300USD for local (Vietnamese Participants)

Date: 5-9 December 2011

Location: NASATI Workshop Room

Training Outline:

Note: The training outline may be modified as needed.

Campus Network Design and Best Practices (Dale Smith)

· Build star networks

· Separate core and edge functions

· Route in core and switch at the edge

· Develop and use standard building blocks

· Have a strategy that allows incremental growth

Campus management and monitoring

Case Studies/Engineering Roundtable

In-building Network Design (Layer 2 Switched Networks) (José Domínguez)

Best practices in Layer 2 Campus Network Design

· Switch versus Hub versus Router

· Switching Architectures (star topologies - aggregation switch serves edge switch)

· Virtual LANs (VLANs)

o Increases complexity

o Not necessarily a security mechanism. Don't confuse VLANs with host or data base security

o Don't build VLAN spaghetti

o Examples of where we recommend VLANs

o Technology and practical hints

§ Tagging and untagged

§ Trunking

§ Q in Q

· Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

o 802.d

o 802.1w

o 802.1s

· Selecting appropriate switches

o class="lroman"> Must be managed

o SNMP, SSH, access control techniques

· Fault Tolerance

o Port bundling

o Spanning tree (using loops to your advantage)

· Network Management

· Switching and security considerations

o Rogue DHCP server prevention

§ How does it work

§ Uplink/downlink configuration

o Dynamic ARP inspection

o 802.1x/network access control

Lab

· 4-6 groups with 5 or 6 switches per group

· Build layer 2 network consisting of aggregation switch and edge switches

· Configure spanning tree across fabric

o What kind of spanning tree to configure?

o How to make different types inter-operate

Lab

· Configure Rogue DHCP prevention

· Add 2nd aggregation switch to provide redundancy

o Why did that happen?

· Growing your network

o Use aggregation

o If you can't...

· VLANs

o Introducing and distributing VLANs

Multicast Networks

Organized by:

The Internet Education and Research Laboratory and National Agency for Science and Technology Information

Objectives:

· To train thirty (30) network engineers from member institutions of the Vietnam Research and Education Network, interested ISP providers, broadcast companies and related private entities on the topic of multicast networks and related topics;

Finances:

A local participation fee shall be collected to defray expenses on food (lunch breaks and coffee breaks), computer rentals, materials, and other miscellaneous expenses which shall be incurred related to participation of locals.

Registration Fees: 300USD for local (Vietnamese Participants)

Date: 12-16 December 2011

Location: NASATI Workshop Room

Training Outline:

Note: The training outline may be modified as needed.

Multicast Networks:

· Router Configuration

· Multicast addressing

· Protocol Soup

· IGMP (Internet Group Membership Protocol) used by hosts and routers to tell each other about group membership

· PIM-SM (Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode) used to propagate forwarding state between routers,with both IPv4 and IPv6.

· SSM (Source Specific Multicast) utilizes a subset of PIM's functionality to guaranty source-only trees in the 232/8 and FF3x::/32 ranges.

· MSDP (Multicast Source Discovery Protocol) used to exchange ASM active source information between RPs.

· Embedded-RP for IPv6 Interdomain ASM.

· MBGP (Multiprotocol BGP) used to exchange routing information for interdomain RPF checking.

Prerequisite

Cisco IOS Fundamentals; IGP and BGP router configuration basics.
