Description: The Cisco Career Certification program enables networking professionals to validate their skills at various levels of proficiency. The mid-level certifications (Cisco Certified Network Professionals and Cisco Certified Design Professional) require candidates to pass four exams, thereby demonstrating expertise in supporting or designing complex internetworks. Cisco Systems recently updated its Career Certification Programs to include new courses and exams that cover updates to products, technology, and solutions. Building Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) is a new recommended training course produced by Cisco Worldwide training for the new CCNP Switching exam, #640-504. Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks is a direct port of the official Cisco training class, providing students with an excellent self-study tool or useful supplement to the actual class. New switching technologies such as multilayer switching have evolved rapidly allowing switches to handle different types of network traffic and perform functions previously reserved for routers. Although these advancements have increased the functionality of switches, they have also increased the complexity involved in designing, configuring, and managing switched campus networks. This exclusive course content is designed to help candidates understand how to take advantage of multilayer switching capabilities, covering the key concepts presented on the CCNP/CCDP Switching Exam. Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks focuses on building and managing high-speed Ethernet campus networks. It defines the Cisco-recommended campus network design, then provides an in-depth look at Layer 2 switching technologies such as SpanningTree Protocol (STP), VLAN technologies, frame tagging protocols, VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP), and Dynamic Trunk Protocol (DTP). Also, it covers Layer 3 routing services provided in the campus network, including inter-VLAN routing, Multilayer Switching (MLS) configuration, Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP), and IP multicast configuration. Finally, it covers securing the switched campus network model, including setting passwords, local and remote login, modifying default privilege levels, and applying Layer 3 traffic management techniques to the campus network.
