To fully benefit from BCMSN, students must have
the following prerequisite skills and knowledge:
Basic router configuration
Basic switch configuration
Basic VLAN configuration
Spanning Tree Protocol configuration
Inter-Switch Link configuration
Standard access list configuration Note: These topics are covered in the Interconnecting
Cisco Network Devices (ICND) course. A student enrolled in the
Cisco Career Certification program must be a Cisco Certified Network
Associate (CCNA) prior to taking this course. Students not seeking
certification still must complete the prerequisite courses before
enrolling in this course.
Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN)
v2.0 course is recommended training for individuals seeking certification
as a Cisco Certified Network Professional. This 5-day course will
enable learners to implement appropriate technologies to build scalable
multilayer 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. BCMSNv2.0
course will also enable learners to improve traffic flow, reliability,
redundancy, and performance for LAN switching that are self- supported
or transported via service provider. The purpose of this course
is to achieve a mid-career professional level competency.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able
to:
Given a network design that includes multilayer
switching over Fast Ethernet, deploy the required Cisco products
and services that enable connectivity and traffic transport
Given a working multilayer switched network,
control network traffic by implementing the necessary admission
policy at each layer of the network topology
When presented with an incorrectly working multilayer
switched network, restore proper network operations through the
use of Cisco devices and external management tools
Explain how service providers implement transparent
LAN services to deliver Ethernet connectivity to the customer
site
Who Should Attend
System Engineers
Account Managers
Channel Partner/Reseller
Customers
The primary audiences for Building Cisco
Multilayer Switched Networks are:
Network administrators and technicians who are responsible for implementing
or troubleshooting a multilayer switched network in an enterprise
environment.
