Routing tables are the foundation of any router. In this video, you’ll learn how routing tables work, and we’ll step through a typical network configuration to see how a routers use the routing tables to get your traffic to its destination.
If you manage a network, then you are probably using many different routing protocols. In this video, you’ll learn how Interior Gateway Protocols and Exterior Gateway Protocols work together to connect both your internal networks and your external links.
Collision domains may be a thing of the past, but broadcast domains continue to be relevant on our networks. In this video, you’ll learn the history of collision domains and how broadcast domains are used in today’s more modern networks.

Now that all of our local area networks have moved to direct switched connections, monitoring traffic has become more difficult. In this video, you’ll learn how port mirroring can be used on a switch to help troubleshoot and monitor your application traffic.
Many networks take advantage of VLAN technology to efficiently segment and manage traffic flows. In this video, you’ll learn how VLANs can be used to optimize your network.
Spanning Tree is used on bridged and switched networks to prevent loops. In this video, you’ll learn how STP manages to keep your large switched network loop-free.

The next hop is an important part of a router. In this video, you’ll learn about the next hop and how routers get your traffic through the network using the next hop.
When a router is determining how to traverse the network, what metrics does it use to build its routes? In this video, you’ll learn how routers combine many metrics to calculate an optimal route for your traffic.
When your network routes change, how does your router handle the convergence? In this video, you’ll learn about the advantages and disadvantage of static routing and dynamic routing.

Routers can use many different methods to determine how they will route traffic. In this video, you’ll learn how routing protocols use link state, distance vector, and hybrid routing protocols.
