Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)
Course Description
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) focuses on using Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium to large network sites. The course provides the learner with in-depth information on these interior gateway protocols (IGPs): Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), and Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS). It also provides information on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), an exterior gateway protocol (EGP). The course covers routing principles of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols; IP addressing techniques; the theory behind the EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP routing protocols; and configuration and troubleshooting information for each protocol. Hands-on lab exercises allow the learner to practice configuration and troubleshooting knowledge and to acquire the skills necessary to configure these protocols in customer networks. BSCI is part of the recommended learning path for students seeking the Cisco Certified Internetworking Professional (CCIP), Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP), and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certifications.
Course Objectives
Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build a scalable, routed network.
Building Cisco Multi-Layered Switched Networks (BSMSN)
Course Description
In the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) course, network administrators learn how to build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies over high speed Ethernet. This course includes both routing and switching concepts, covering both Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies. BCMSN is part of the recommended training path for those students seeking the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), Cisco Certified Design Professional (CCDP), and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certifications.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to meet the following overall objectives:
- Given a campus design that includes multilayer switching over Fast Ethernet, deploy the required Cisco products and services that enable connectivity and traffic transport.
- Implement the necessary services at each layer of the network to all users to obtain membership in multicast groups in a working multilayer switched network.
- Given a working multilayer switched network, control network traffic by implementing the necessary admission policy at each layer of the network topology.
- When presented with an incorrectly working multilayer switched network, restore proper network operations through the use of Cisco devices and external management tools.
Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN)
Course Description
In the Building Cisco Remote Access Networks course, students learn how to build, configure and troubleshoot a remote access network to interconnect central sites to branch offices and home offices. Students also learn how to control access to the central site, as well as to maximize bandwidth utilization over the remote links.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to perform the following overall tasks:
- Identify the appropriate Cisco products for a given set of WAN technology requirements, including permanent or dialup access between a central site, branch offices, and telecommuters.
- When given a set of WAN topologies and specifications, assemble and configure Cisco equipment to establish appropriate WAN connections.
- Enable protocols and technologies that allow traffic flow between multiple sites, while minimizing the amount of overhead traffic on each connection.
- Implement quality of service capabilities to ensure that mission critical applications receive the required bandwidth within a given WAN topology.
- Within a given WAN topology, implement applicable access control measures to allow desired access into the network.
- When given a WAN topology, ensure proper connectivity using Cisco product features to troubleshoot device protocols and technologies.
Cisco Internetworking Troubleshooting
Course Description
The Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT) course teaches students how to baseline and troubleshoot an environment using Cisco routers and switches for multiprotocol client hosts and servers connected with the following:
- Ethernet and Fast Ethernet LANs
- Serial, Frame Relay, and ISDN BRI WAN
The course provides students with methodical practice using specific Cisco IOS software and Catalyst software tools to diagnose and correct problems on widely installed Cisco products.
CIT is part of the recommended training path for those students seeking the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) certifications.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Use an efficient problem-solving method when troubleshooting and documenting internetwork problems.
- Identify and apply generic and Cisco-specific troubleshooting tools on Cisco routers and switches.
- Analyze and troubleshoot problems in the following environments:
- Campus TCP/IP
- Novell IPX
- Catalyst switches
- VLANs on routers and switches
- Frame Relay
- ISDN BR
