The BCRAN course focuses on introducing techniques
and technology for enabling secure WAN solutions. To fully benefit
from BCRAN, the student must be familiar with general networking
terms and concepts and have experience completing the following
tasks on Cisco routers:
General Cisco router operation and configuration
TCP/IP operation and configuration
Routing Protocols (RIP, IGRP)
Routed IP Protocols and IP Utility applications
Standard and extended access lists
PPP operation and PPP configuration over serial
links
Frame Relay operation and configuration on interfaces
and subinterfaces
Legacy DDR over ISDN-BRI operation and configuration
Note: These topics are covered
in the CCNA courses CCNA Basics and Interconnecting Cisco Network
Devices (ICND) v 2.0.
Course Content
In the Building Cisco Remote Access Networks course,
students learn how to build, configure and troubleshoot a remote
access network to interconnect central sites to branch offices and
small offices/home offices. Students also learn how to control access
using basic authentication and authorization configurations, how
to maximize bandwidth utilization over the remote links, and how
to set up virtual private networks (VPNs) using IPSec.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will
be able to perform the following overall tasks:
Given available tools, verify connectivity to
non-Cisco devices.
Using the command line interface, accurately
determine network device operational status and network performance.
Using IOS commands, manage device configuration
files to reduce device downtime and according to best practices.
Using the command line interface, configure
access lists to meet specified operational requirements
Using the appropriate show commands, display network operational
parameters so that the student can detect anomalies
Using the appropriate debug commands, monitor
network operational parameters so that the student can detect
anomalies
