Course duration: 5 Days

Course 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 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 Interconnection (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 operation and configuration for Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP), Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) single-area networks
 Using, implementing, and configuring static and default routes
 Verifying basic router configurations using show and debug command output

Target Audience:

 Network administrators and technicians who are responsible for implementing and troubleshooting complex routed network environments.
 CCIP, CCNP and CCDP candidates
 CCIE Routing and Switching candidates CCIE Communications & Services candidates

Course Content:

 Advanced IP Addressing
 Routing Principles
