Switch configuration courseware for security integrators

Available courses

Eight courses across five tracks. Take the foundations first if you are new to the work. Each course is self-contained, but the suite is designed to build on itself.

What the courses look like

Each course runs as a single-page interactive site. Slides advance one at a time. Animated CLI plays out exactly the keystrokes a practitioner would type, with switch responses, success markers, warnings, and explanatory comments rendered in colour. Knowledge checks are interleaved as checkpoints, and a final assessment closes the course with a completion certificate.

Content is grounded in field practice. Configurations use an example reference design — adapt the VLAN numbers, names, and addressing to whatever the customer already runs. Every command is validated against vendor documentation before it lands in a lesson. Where Cisco-trained habits produce wrong syntax on another platform, the difference is called out explicitly.

Suggested path

1. Network Primer Level 1 if you do not already have the networking foundations.
2. CCTV Fundamentals Level 1 for the camera side of the work.
3. Network Hardening Level 1 for the vendor-neutral switch hardening principles.
4. Windows Hardening Level 1 for the servers and workstations that hold the evidence.
5. Security Integrator Level 1 ties the four prior courses into the four topology models.
6. OT Networks Level 1 if your projects cross into building automation, process control, or critical infrastructure.
7. The vendor courses (Cisco IOS Level 1, ALE OmniSwitch Level 1) at any point once you have the foundations.

Roadmap

• Aruba CX Level 1, AOS-CX configuration fundamentals. In production.
• Juniper EX Level 1, Junos configuration fundamentals. In production.
• Logging Level 1, syslog, SIEM basics, evidentiary chain in depth. In production.
• Level 2 series, deeper segmentation, advanced spanning tree, multicast, and platform-specific operations. Planned.
