• This is the core of “bring up and maintain” “troubleshooting issues”.
• Strong L2/L3 fundamentals for lab environments:
• VLANs, subnets, DHCP vs static, basic routing/switching, and being able to isolate whether an issue is physical, L2, L3, or config.
• This directly maps to “IP assignment… VLANs, subnets” and “testing switch testbeds for validation”.
