BCMSN: Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks

View course dates

Course Duration: 5 days

Course Code: BCMSN

Course Description:

BCMSN is a five-day instructor-led course which will enable delegates to implement appropriate technologies to build scalable, multi-layer, switched networks; build switched networks using multilayer switching technologies; create and deploy a global intranet, and implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This course will also enable delegates to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via a service provider. The purpose of this course is to enable delegates to achieve a mid-career professional -level.

 

Objectives:

• Use the Campus Infrastructure module of the Enterprise Composite Network Model to deploy an efficient and expandable enterprise network.
  
• Define VLANs to segment network traffic and manage network utilization.
  
• Implement STP to accelerate network traffic convergence in Layer 2.
  
• Troubleshoot spanning tree, and identify enhancements provided by RSTP and MST.
  
• Implement multilayer switching to enable higher data throughput between isolated VLANs
  
• Implement redundancy in the routing layer to improve and ensure end-to-end availability of network services.
  
• Secure switches in the Campus Infrastructure module against data theft and service loss in the event of network compromise.
  
• Configure the campus switches to optimize traffic flow when voice, video and data applications traverse a single converged network.

 

BCMSN is part of the CCDP/ CCNP Certification Paths.
