This five-day instructor-led course Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) v3.0 will teach participants how to create an efficient and expandable enterprise network by installing, configuring, monitoring, and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment according to the Campus Infrastructure module in the Enterprise Composite Network Model (ECNM). After completing this course participants can register to sit the Cisco (BCMSN) 642-812 exam.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Describe the Campus Infrastructure module of the ECNM • Define VLANs to segment network traffic and manage network utilization • Explain the procedure for configuring both 802.1Q and ISL trunking between two switches so that VLANs that span the switches can connect • Describe how VLAN configuration of switches in a single management domain can be automated with the Cisco proprietary VTP • Implement high availability technologies and techniques using multilayer switches in a campus environment • Describe WLANs • Describe and configure switch infrastructure to support voice • Describe and implement security features in a switched network
Module 1: • Course Introduction
Module 2: • Designing a Network Using the Campus Infrastructure Module • Lab: Getting Started with Catalyst Equipment
Module 7: • Implementing Redundancy in the Routing Layer • Lab: Enabling and Optimizing HSRP
Module 8: • Minimizing Service Loss and Data Theft in a Switched Network • Case Study: Applying Security Practices to Secure Devices in the Campus • Case Study: Using Security Tools to Secure Devices in the Campus • Lab: Applying Security Tools
Module 9: • Configuring Campus Switches to Support Voice and Video Applications • Lab: Configuring IP Telephony Support • Lab: Configuring IP Multicast
This course is recommended for individuals seeking to gain their CCNP certification. This course enables students to use appropriate technologies to build scalable multilayer switched networks, to create and deploy a global intranet, and to implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This course also enables learners to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via a service provider.
Before attending this course, students must have:
• Completed the Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND) course or have equivalent knowledge • Ability to complete the initial configuration of a switch • Ability to configure a switch with VLANs • Ability to create basic interswitch connections • Ability to troubleshoot a VLAN • Ability to complete the initial configuration of a router
