Mike Pennacchi Instructor:
Mike Pennacchi

Owner,
Network Protocol Specialists

At some point, every voice, video, and data packet that is being transferred across the network is passing over Ethernet links and through Ethernet Switches. If these technologies are not working properly, the result will be poor voice quality and slow applications. In this session we will look at the operation of Ethernet and the factors that can impact its performance. We will cover a number of tools and techniques for ensuring your Ethernet network is performing as it should.

  • Overview of Ethernet Operation
  • Ethernet Errors
  • Ethernet Switch Operation
  • Testing Ethernet and Switch Performance
  • Troubleshooting Ethernet Errors
  • VLAN Operation
