A friend of mine recently pointed me to these FREE videos that go in depth on how to configure Cisco switches and configure VLANs. There are 6 parts to these videos and, together, they are over 1.5 hours long (90 minutes). Cisco CCIE, Chris Bryant is the instructor and he does a great job showing you, on a Cisco switch, how to configure all that you need to know - both to administer a Cisco switch and to prepare for the Cisco CCNA certification or the CCNP switching exam. I hope you will take a look at these free Cisco switching videos.

Train Signal makes some excellent video training products (covering Windows 2008, Cisco, and much more) but I want to take a second to talk about their sister site - Train Signal Training.com (called TST).
At Train Signal Training, they have a lot of experts who make daily blog posts covering all sorts of Windows, Microsoft office, and Cisco networking topics. For example, there are tips on how to get a networking job, tips on how to do a address label merge in Word 2007, and many more. What is most impressive is how their writers deliver these real-world and very useful tips.
Please take a second to check out Train Signal Training and sign up for their free newsletter or RSS feed.

Recently, I created a short video that shows you how to configure and use VLAN s on a Cisco IOS Router & Switch. It is a step-by-step 15 minute video. It was originally published over at SearchNetworking.com.
In this video, you will learn how to configure a VLAN in this step-by-step, automated, 15-minute demo. As a CCIE Cisco networking expert, I will walk you through the steps you’ll need to configure your routers and switches, set up and assign the trunk ports, and perform the necessary tests to get traffic moving across your VLAN successfully. You can view the configuration commands I used in the video at the bottom of this page.
This video is published in two places:
