Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) v3.0

Course Overview
BSCI is a five-day instructor-led course which instructs delegates 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
• Describe advanced IP addressing to include variable length subnet mask (VLSM), route summarisation, classless interdomain routing (CIDR), basic IP version 6 (IPv6), and 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 summarisation. Configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) for a scalable network
• Configure Open Shortest Path First OSPF) for a scalable multi-area network
• Configure Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) for a scalable multi-area 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 connections

Course Pre-Requisites
Delegates are required to meet the following prerequisites:

• Valid CCNA

Target Audience
This course is intended for network administrators and technicians; customers or channel resellers; network support staff and candidates for CCNP, CCDP, CCIP and CCIE certifications.
