Overview:

The BSCI course is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). BSCI instructs network administrators of medium-to large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs. The goal is to train network administrators to grow a dramatically increased number of routers/sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.

Course Objectives:

After completing this course, students will be able to:

·          Describe advanced IP addressing to include variable-length subnet mask, route summarization, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), basic IP version 6, and using Network Address Translation (NAT) with route maps

·          Identify advanced IP routing principles, including static and dynamic routing characteristics and the concepts of classless routing and network boundary summarization.

·          Configure Enhanced Interior gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for a scalable network

·          Configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for a scalable multiarea network

·          Configure intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for a scalable multiarea network

·          Manipulate routing updates and packet flow using redistribution, distribution lists, administrative distance, route maps, and policy-based routing.

·          Configure basic Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for internal and external Border Gateway Protocol

 Prerequisites

To fully benefit from this course, the BSCI student typically will have attended the Cisco CCNA curriculum and passed the CCNA certification test. Successful students must have the following prerequisite skills and knowledge to be at a level appropriate for entering BSCI

·          Networking terms, numbering schemes, and topologies

·          Open System Inter connection (OSI) reference model

·          Operating and configuring a Cisco router

·          TCP/IP stack and configuring IP addresses

·          Ip subnetting to include complex subnetting and variable-length subnet masking (VLSM)

·          Routing protocol operations and configuration for

·          Using, implementing, and configuring static and default routes

·          Interpreting the contents, entries, and indicators form a Cisco routing table

·          Filtering traffic with standard and extended access lists

·          Verifying basic router configurations using show and debug command output

·          Verifying basic switch configurations using show command output

·          Configuring a WAN serial interface using High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Point-to Point Protocol (PPP)

·          Configuring a WAN serial interface using Frame Relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) subinterfaces.
