CSCO 650 Building Scalable Cisco Networks

This course focuses on advanced routing using Cisco routers connected in local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) typically found at medium to large network sites. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS services required to build a scalable routed network. This course will help the student prepare for exams associated with CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional) certification.

Prerequisite

CSCO 294 or CCNA certification

Course Objectives

  1. 1. Describe the key requirements of a scalable network.
  2. 2. List the key information routers need to route data.
  3. 3. Describe classful and classless routing protocols.
  4. 4. Given an Internet Protocol (IP) address range, use Variable-Length Subnet Masks (VLSMs) to extend
    the use of the IP addresses.
  5. 5. Configure and verify how OSPF works in a single area.
  6. 6. Describe the issues with interconnecting multiple areas and how OSPF addresses each.
  7. 7. Explain how EIGRP discovers, chooses, and maintains routes.
  8. 8. Describe how EIGRP supports large networks.
  9. 9. Describe BGP features and operation.
  10. 10. Describe the function of access lists.
  11. 11. Configure policy-based routing using route maps.
  12. 12. Configure an IP helper address to manage broadcasts.
  13. 13. Explain IP private addresses and Network Address Translation ( NAT).
  14. 14. Explain reflexive, context-based and dynamic access list types.
