BSCI - Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 3.0

This five-day instructor-led BSCI v3.0 course has eight modules, with several lessons per module and numerous hands-on labs.

The goal of this course is to train network administrators to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.

After completing this course participants can register to sit the (BSCI) 642-901 exam.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe the converged network requirements of various network and networked applications within the Cisco network architectures
• Implement and verify Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) operations
• Build a scalable multiarea network with Open Shortest Path First Protocol (OSPF)
• Configure Integrated Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System Protocol (IS-IS) in a single area
• Manipulate routing and packet flow
• Implement and verify Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for enterprise Internet service provider (ISP) connectivity
• Implement and verify multicast forwarding using Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) and related protocols
• Describe how Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) functions to satisfy the increasingly complex requirements of hierarchical addressing
