Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)

This course covers advanced Cisco networking and routing aspects. Individuals will review complex routing protocols to gain an in depth understanding of internetworking. The class instructs on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs. The goal is to grow a dramatically increased number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.
