Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN)
Exam No. Course No. Course Length:	640-503 BSCN 5 Days
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).

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 debug commands

Course Outline

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.

Building Cisco Multilayer Switching Networks (BCMSN)
Exam No. Course No. Course Length:	640-504 BCMSN 5 Days
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.

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

Course Outline

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.

Topics

The BCMSN course is divided into four modules. An introductory section that covers the course logistics precedes these four modules.

Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN)
Exam No. Course No. Course Length:	640-505 BCRAN 5 Days
The Building Cisco Remote Access Networks course teaches students how to build a remote access network to interconnect central sites to branch offices and home office/telecommuters. Once the network is built, the course further teaches students how to control access to the central site, as well as maximize bandwidth utilization over the remote links.

Prerequisites

The BCRAN course focuses on intoducing techniques and technology for enabling WAN solutions. To fully benefit from BCRAN, the student must be familiar with general networking terms and concepts and have experience completing the following tasks on Cisco routers:

General Cisco router operation and configuration
TCP/IP and TCP/IP operation and configuration
Routing Protocols (RIP, IGRP, etc.)
Routed Protocols (IP, IPX, etc.)
