Element Switching Product Portfolio
43% of Exam
Target Market
Compare and contrast the features and limitations of the Ethernet Portfolio of switching products and differentiate between how they would perform in different business networking environments.

Passport Architecture
Given a customer's network and/or switching requirements, recommend an appropriate Passport 8600/1400/1600 solutions. (e.g. building e correct campus networking solution for a customer).
Based on a proposed customer's network design, determine the best type of uplink capability to meet the customer's needs.

BayStack Architecture
Given a customer's network and/or switching requirements, recommend an appropriate BayStack/BPS solution to meet their needs. (e.g. building a correct enterprise networking solution for a customer).
Given a customer's BayStack network configuration, determine individual system software version requirements based on product interoperability.
Identify the BayStack models that support stacking and determine the appropriate uplink/connectivity method based on customer requirements.

Ethernet Switching Features/Functionality
(25% of Exam)
Features
Given a customer's bandwidth needs, determine the VLAN/MLT configurations that will maximize bandwidth flexibility.
Given a customer's routing needs, determine the appropriate routing protocol (e.g. RIP, OSPF etc.) implementation.

Reliability
Given a customer's reliability requirements, determine software features (e.g., DMLT, VRRP, STP, ECMP) that mitigate system and network downtime risks.
Given a customer's reliability requirements, determine hardware features (e.g.Stack Failover, UPS, redundant cascade architecture, Gigabit uplinks) that mitigate system and network downtime risks.

Quality of Service
(11% of Exam)
QoS Technologies
Compare and contrast the features and benefits of the different QoS technologies available in the Ethernet Switch Product Portfolio (e.g. DiffServ 802.1p, ATM QoS), and identify in which hardware/software configurations these are best used.

Traffic Classifications and Prioritization
Compare the different traffic classifications and prioritization methods in the Ethernet Switch Portfolio and determine the appropriate usage based on customer requirements.

Network Management
(10% of Exam)
Configuration and Applications
Compare the different management interfaces for the Ethernet Switching Product Portfolio ( e.g. CLI, VLAN Manager, Device Manager, QoS Wizard), and recommend the appropriate interfaces based on customer requirements.

Management Applications
Compare the different Ethernet Switching Management applications (e.g. SNMP, RMON, OSM, NMS, OPS) and recommend the appropriate application based on customer requirements.

System Security
(11% of Exam)
BayStack Portfolio (380, 420, 450, 460, 470 and BPS)
Compare the different security features/applications in the BayStack/BPS Switch Product Portfolio (e.g.BaySecure, EAP, IP Manager-based, RADIUS, CLI, SNMPv3, MAC-Address-based), and recommend the appropriate feature(s)/application(s) to address the customer's network design needs based on security considerations.

Passport Portfolio (8600, 1400, 1600)
Compare the different security features/applications in the Passport Switch Product Portfolio (e.g. SAM, SNMPv3, SSH, Routing Protocols, etc.), and recommend the appropriate feature(s)/application(s) to address the customer's network design needs based on security considerations.
