CCNP/CCIP: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks

About this class

The BSCI course is an advanced routing course-recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). BSCI instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs.

The goal is to train network administrators to grow a dramatically increased number of routers / sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.

What delegates will learn

After completing this course the student should be able to:

• Describe advanced IP addressing to include variable-length subnet mask, route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), basic IP version 6, and using Network Address Translation (NAT) with route maps
• Identify advanced IP routing principles, including static and dynamic routing characteristics and the concepts of classless routing and network boundary summarization
• Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for a scalable network
• Configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for a scalable multiarea network
• Configure Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for a scalable multiarea network
• Manipulate routing updates and packet flow using redistribution, distribution lists, administrative distance, route maps, and policy-based routing
• Configure basic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for internal and external Border Gateway Protocol connections
