Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN)
version 1.0 replaces the Advanced Cisco Router Configuration
(ACRC) version 11.3 course. As such, BSCN addresses those
tasks that network managers and administrators need to perform
when managing access and controlling overhead traffic in growing,
routed, networks once basic connectivity has been established.
BSCN discusses router capabilities used to control traffic
over LANs and WANs, as well as connecting corporate networks
to an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this training course,
the student will be able to meet the following overall objectives:
Given a network specification that calls
for simplifying IP address management at branch offices by
centralizing addresses, select and configure the appropriate
services.
Given a network specification calling for
a scalable routed network that includes link state protocols
and redistribution, implement the appropriate technologies.
Given a network specification calling for
either a single or a multi-homed interconnection into an ISP's
BGP network, configure the edge routers to properly interconnect
into the BGP cloud.
Given a network specification calling for
controlling access to networks or .
devices, or for minimizing overhead traffic, select and configure
the appropriate access list features.
Given various network specifications calling
for multiple routed and routing protocols, implement case
studies that reflect a scalable internetwork
Who Should Attend
The BSCN course is targeted toward enterprise
network engineers (including SEs, customers, and resellers)
who are responsible for network administration and implementation.
The targeted audience performs one or more of the following
tasks:
- Install and configure network devices
- Design and implement large enterprise
networks
- Add services/applications to an existing
network, and determine what router configurations are required
to support the new services/applications
- Improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy,
and performance through the network
Prerequisites
The Building Scalable Cisco Networks course
focuses on introducing routing
techniques and technologies for scaling a network. To
fully benefit from BSCN, students must possess certain prerequisite
skills using Cisco equipment. These skills follow:
- Working knowledge of the OSI reference
model and the hierarchical model
- Understanding internetworking fundamentals
- Operating and configuring a Cisco IOS
device
- Working knowledge of the TCP/IP stack
and how to configure a routed protocol such as IP
- Understanding distance vector routing
protocol operation and configuring RIP and IGRP
- Determining when to use static and default
routes and enabling them on a Cisco router
- Displaying and interpreting a Cisco
router routing table
- Enabling a WAN serial connection
- Configuring Frame Relay PVCs on interfaces
and subinterfaces
- Configuring an IP standard and extended
access list
- Verifying router configurations with
available tools like show and debugs .
commands
These skills can be gained from successfully
completing other Cisco educational offerings, as follows:
Internetworking Technologies Multimedia (ITM) and one of the
following combinations:
- Introduction to Cisco Router Configuration
(ICRC) and Cisco LAN Switch
- Configuration (CLSC); or
- Cisco Router and LAN Switches (CRLS);
or
- Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices
(ICND)
