Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 3.0 Expert
Encore
Overview/Description
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 3.0 is another
critical course for any individual interested in Cisco networking
and/or Cisco certification. This incredibly challenging course
features in-depth discussions and hands-on exercises focused around
the most robust dynamic routing protocols available for Cisco
equipment. These protocols include OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and BGP.
BSCI 3.0 ensures network administrators of medium-to-large network
sites can implement advanced IP addressing designs for scalability
of Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs using the latest in
IPv6 technologies. A key goal of the course is to train network
administrators to implement a routed network that may feature an
increasing number of routers/sites and guarantee a substantial
redesign for the routing infrastructure is never required. Due to
the critical nature of this content, Building Scalable Cisco
Internetworks is a prerequisite for many other advanced Cisco
courses and is considered an absolute must for any individual
contemplating the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE)
designation.
Target Audience
This course is a necessity for any student that desires to learn
more about Cisco networking - especially the implementation of
scalable, routed networks. This course is also recommended for any
student interested in professional level Cisco certifications or
beyond.
Prerequisites
The BSCI course focuses on the technology required for enabling
scalable routed networks. To fully benefit from this course, the
student must be familiar with general networking concepts and have
Cisco router operation and configuration experience. In addition,
the course requires an understanding of TCP/IP and routing
protocols, standard and extended access lists, PPP configuration
over serial links, and Frame Relay operation and configuration on
interfaces and sub-interfaces. Successful completion of
Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (or equivalent
experience) is strongly recommended.
