What this objective tests
200-301 Network Infrastructure and Connectivity — Key Topics
You must configure and verify VLANs, trunks, IPv4/IPv6 addressing, default gateways, and static or OSPF routes, then troubleshoot with show commands. The single most important thing: confirm Layer 2 reachability and correct IP addressing before blaming routing or wireless.
- VLAN creation, access port assignment, 802.1Q trunking, and inter-VLAN routing via SVIs or router subinterfaces
- IPv4/IPv6 interface addressing, EUI-64, SLAAC, DHCP, DNS, and default gateway configuration on hosts
- Static routes, OSPFv2/v3 neighbor adjacencies, and verifying the routing table with show ip route
- Wireless 2.4/5 GHz behavior, channel overlap, and fiber versus copper media characteristics
