Building Cisco® Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as Cisco CCNP®. This course enables learners 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 Cisco® 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. The purpose of this course is to enable a learner to achieve a mid-career professional-level competency.

You will learn to

• 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

Recommended for

• Employees

• Customers

• Channel Partners/Resellers

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with internetworking fundamentals prior to taking this course. Students should possess hands-on experience with basic router and switch configuration tasks, and be able to configure a simple VLAN. You should have skills in the following areas:

• Basic router configuration

• Basic switch configuration

• Basic virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration

• Basic Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration

• Basic trunking configuration

• Standard access list configuration

Note: The prerequisite topics are covered in the CCNA Boot Camp. It is recommended that a student achieve CCNA® status prior to taking this course. Students not seeking certification must still complete the prerequisite courses before enrolling in this course.
