Prepare for CCNP and CCDP certification with the official Cisco BCMSN Coursebook

• Prepare for CCNP or CCDP certification while learning how to build and manage switched campus networks offering a combination of Layer 2 and Layer 3 services
• Understand how to deploy the required Cisco products and services that enable connectivity and traffic transport in multilayer switched networks
• Improve IP performance by identifying multilayer switching devices, configuring multilayer switching services, verifying multilayer switch flows, and applying flow masks
• Manage redundant links through proper application of transparent bridging and Spanning-Tree Protocol
• Implement the necessary services at each layer of the network for efficient implementation of multicast groups
• Control network traffic by implementing the necessary admission policy at each layer of the network topology

Based on the Cisco Systems. course taught worldwide, Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks teaches you how to build and manage campus networks using multilayer switching technologies. BCMSN is one of four courses recommended by Cisco for CCNP and CCDP preparation. If you are pursuing CCNP or CCDP certification, this book helps you with strong and accurate early study material.

Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks presents detailed information on how routing and switching technologies work together. This book first defines Cisco recommended campus network design methodologies. You will receive an in-depth analysis of Layer 2 switching technologies, including Spanning Tree, VLAN technologies, frame tagging protocols, and Cisco proprietary support protocols such as VTP and DTP. The book then covers Layer 3 routing services provided in the campus network, including inter-VLAN routing, multilayer switching, Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP), and IP multicast. Finally, the book 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. Several case studies demonstrate the implementation of multilayer switching technologies. Additionally, each chapter contains questions to help you assess your understanding of key concepts and start you down the path for attaining your CCNP or CCDP certification.
