The purpose of Building Cisco Multilayer
Switched Networks (BCMSN) 1.0 is to teach network administrators
how to build campus networks using multilayer switching technologies
over high speed Ethernet. Cisco Worldwide Training (WWT) currently
offers courses that present routing and switching concepts
and implementations. This course addresses how these technologies
work together.
The BCMSN training project is a five-day lecture/lab
course and is an integral
part of the recently announced Cisco Career Certifications
program. The
BCMSN training project is a Layer 2 education offering
and is part of the
recommended training path for those students seeking
Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) status.
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 to 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, rectify proper network operations through
the use of Cisco System, Inc. device and external management
tools.
Who Should Attend
The Building Cisco Multilayer Switching
Networks course is primarily targeted towards network administrators.
However, because this course is part of the recommended training
path for students seeking a CCNP or CCIE
status. Cisco anticipates the audience will be comprised of
those personnel
perform other network job functions, such as network
performance,
security, or design.
- CCNP candidates
- CCIE candidates
Prerequisites
The typical student should be familiar
with internetworking fundamentals prior
to taking this course. The typical student should also
have hands-on
experience with basic router and switch configuration
tasks, and be able to
configure a simple VLAN. Students should have the following
skills:
- Basic router configuration
- Basic switch configuration
- Basic VLAN configuration
- Spanning Tree Protocol configuration
- Inter-Switch Link configuration
- Standard access list configuration
Prior to taking this course, the
student should complete the following Cisco
Systems, Inc., WWT education offerings:
Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration
(ICRC) 11.3 AND Cisco LAN and Switch Configuration (CLSC)
3.0
OR
Cisco Router and LAN Switches (CRLS) 3.0
OR
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) 1.0
Course Outline
The BCMSN course is divided into four modules.
An introductory section that covers the course logistics precedes
these four modules.
