- Routing metrics, convergence, and avoiding routing loops
Module 7: Dynamic Routing Protocols
- Distance Vector: RIP (v1/v2), IGRP – configuration, metrics, authentication, auto-summarization
- Link-State: OSPF – areas, router ID, cost, configuration
- Hybrid: EIGRP – metric calculation, configuration, auto-summarization
Module 8: Access Control Lists (ACLs)

- Editing named ACLs
Module 9: NAT, Tunnels & Basic Switching
- Network Address Translation (NAT): Static, Dynamic, PAT (Overload)
- NAT address types (Inside Local/Global, Outside Local/Global)
- Configuring different NAT types
- GRE tunnels and configuration
- Switches vs bridges, switching methods, duplex modes, switch functions
- Management VLAN setup
Module 10: Advanced Switching, VLANs, STP & IPv6
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/PVST): root bridge, ports, states, timers, PortFast, UplinkFast, BackboneFast
- VLANs: creation, trunking (802.1Q), native VLAN, VTP (modes, pruning), DTP
- EtherChannel: PAgP, LACP, manual mode
- IPv6 basics: addressing, static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3
