Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)

Course Overview

Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) v3.0 is recommended advanced routing training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco CCNP©_. BSCI instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. The BSCI v3.0 course has eight modules, with several lessons per module and numerous hands-on labs. The goal is to train network administrators to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.

Target Audience

Network administrators and technicians responsible for implementing and troubleshooting complex routed network environments; Customers or channel resellers who are experienced with Cisco products or have a broad knowledge of the internetworking industry; Network technicians who are experienced with Cisco products and services
Network administrators responsible for implementing and managing medium-to-large business networks; Senior network support staff performing a help-desk role in a medium or enterprise-sized company that has internal network support escalation staff; Network support staff who design, implement, and troubleshoot Layer 3 connectivity issues
