Cisco Related by MindLeaders BSCI 642-801
This series is designed to help learners prepare and take the Cisco Certified Network Professional exam 642-801: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks. The series explains how to install, configure, and monitor LANs and WANs with from 100 to 500 nodes. Learners are taught the principles of routing, how to extend IP addresses, and how to implement OSPF in a single area and interconnect OSPF areas. The series also covers how to apply integrated IS-IS, how to employ enhanced IGRP, how to configure BGP protocol and scale BGP networks, and how to optimize routing updates and implement successful route redistribution.
This series is for anyone preparing for the Cisco CCNP BSCI 642-801 exam, or for anyone who wants to learn more about internetworking. This online course contains 9 lessons and 1 practice exams and should take approximately 17 hours to complete.
Routing Principles
This course examines the major functions of a router as well as various routing protocols that can operate on Cisco routers In addition, the learner will study how to analyze the various fields in a routing table and teaches you how to explain administrative distance and the metrics used by routing protocols, distinguish among the following routing protocols: IGRP, RIPv1, RIPv2, BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, and OSPF, use the ip route command., use debugging commands to monitor convergence patterns of routing protocols, and analyze routing tables.
Extending IP Addresses
This course explains IP addressing and extending IP addresses The Internet Protocol (IP) is the primary protocol used to encapsulate data in the Internet suite This course focuses on some of the solutions and mechanisms the Cisco professional should know to help decrease the routing table size as well as create a more hierarchical addressing scheme and teaches you how to describe the IP subnetting process, calculate subnets and hosts using formulas, define classless interdomain routing, describe IP Version 6, extend IP addresses using VLSM, and configure the ip helper to manage broadcasts.
Implementing OSPF in a Single Area
This course examines the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol It explains OSPF in comparison to the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), and covers discovery, selection, route maintenance, and point-to-point operation The two formal modes of running OSPF over an NBMA topology are discussed, and OSPF configuration and verification are explained in detail and teaches you how to understand the differences between OSPF and RIP, explain how the Hello protocol works, describe the eight possible states that an OSPF router can go through during the initialization process, use IP unnumbered and loopback addressing, and configure and verify different OSPF operations for a single area.
Interconnecting OSPF Areas
This course covers advanced concepts of the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, and how to link multiple areas and OSPF addressing in multiple areas This course also explains the different types of areas, routers, and link-state advertisements Configuring and verifying a Cisco router for OSPF multi-area operations is covered in detail and teaches you how to design your area network properly, configure virtual links and loopback interfaces, master the various link-state advertisement (LSA) types, understand how multicasting works for internal routers, deploy route summarization in OSPF NBMA environments, and configure and verify multi-area OSPF operations.
Applying Integrated IS-IS
This course discusses the Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) routing protocol, which is used for both ISO Connectionless Network Protocol (CLNP) and IP applications It covers how to develop an effective addressing plan, establishing various adjacencies, and configuring Cisco routers and the IS-IS circuit type and teaches you how to explain OSI models and protocols, identify IS-IS networks, routers, and interface types, develop an IS-IS addressing scheme, and configure and verify Level 1 and Level 2 ISs.
Employing Enhanced IGRP
This course discusses the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), which improves Cisco's proprietary IGRP by using elements of distance-vector and link-state characteristics Learners will examine IP routing with EIGRP, and discuss how EIGRP functions like a distance-vector protocol to find the optimal path on a network and utilize link-state properties and teaches you how to explain how EIGRP discovers, chooses, and manages routes, configure EIGRP for VLSM and route summarization, deploy EIGRP in several NBMA environments, and configure and verify EIGRP operations.
Configuring Border Gateway Protocol
This course covers the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and how it addresses path determination in modern internetworks The learner will examine the default standard BGP and how it achieves interdomain routing in TCP/IP networks to transport packets and teaches you how to explain the process for connecting to other autonomous systems, explain the basics behind BGP routing policy functions, describe how BGP synchronization works, describe BGP peering functions with peer groups and communities, and configure and verify BGP.
Scaling BGP Networks
This course explores advanced concepts of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) The learner will examine BGP scalability through route reflectors and managing policy using prefix lists, and will learn how to connect to multiple ISPs via BGP and how to configure and verify multihomed BGP scenarios The course also discusses methods for redistributing routes between BGP and IGPs and teaches you how to calculate connections needed for IBGP, design and configure a route reflector, use the show ip bgp command, implement distribute lists and prefix lists, connect multiple ISPs with BGP, redistribute routes between BGP and IGPs, and verify a multihomed environment.
Routing Update Optimization and Redistribution
This course discusses Cisco policy-based routing The learner will examine various routing commands, and learn about the redistribution of routing update traffic This course also covers resolving path selection issues, implementing route filters, and verifying route redistribution and teaches you how to influence the optimal path, understand the guidelines for route redistribution, configure and verify route redistribution, use different mechanisms to resolve path selection, verify route redistribution and route map policy, and configure policy-based routing with route maps.
Practice Exam
