5.0 Day(s) |
Description |
BCRAN is an advanced course that introduces techniques and features enabling or enhancing WAN and remote access solutions. The course focuses on using one or more of the available WAN dialup or permanent connection technologies for remote access between enterprise sites. This course includes asynchronous modem connections, PPP LCP features, cable-modems and DSL with NAT, network security using VPNs with IPSec encryption and IKE keys, ISDN (BRI and PRI), DDR, Frame Relay including sub-interface and traffic shaping, dial backup, QOS using queuing and compression, and finally, AAA. BCRAN is part of the recommended learning path for students seeking the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). |
Prerequisites |
To fully benefit from BCRAN, you should already possess certain prerequisite skills. These skills can be acquired from self-paced or instructor-led training sessions and from work experience. You should have a working knowledge of:
- Commonly used networking terms, numbering schemes, and topologies
- The Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model
- Operation and configuration of a Cisco router
- Operation and configuration of a Catalyst switch
- TCP/IP stack and configuration of IP addresses
- Routing protocol operation and configuration for Routing Information Protocol [RIP], Interior Gateway Routing Protocol [IGRP]), Extended IGRP [EIGRP], and Open Shortest Path First [OSPF] single area internets
- Static and default route usage, implementation, and configuration
- The contents, entries, and indicators interpreted from a Cisco routing table
- Traffic filtering with standard and extended access lists
- Switch-related protocol operation and configuration for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Virtual LANs [VLANs], VLAN Trunking Protocol [VTP], IEEE 802.1Q trunking, and Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking
- Verifying basic router configurations using show and debug command output
- Verifying basic switch configurations using show command output
- WAN serial interface configuration using High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
- WAN serial interface configuration using Frame Relay permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) and sub-interfaces
- WAN interface configuration using Integrated Services Digital Network [ISDN] for Basic Rate Interface, Primary Rate Interface and legacy Dial-on-demand call initiation

Objectives |
After completing this course, the student should be able to:
- Given a network design, coordinate implementation with other network owners to ensure minimum disruption
- Given a network design,acquire the required equipment to implement the design
- Given network requirements,install modules and upgrades to meet equipment configuration requirements
- Given a new network requirement, execute an add, move, or change so that the network functions in accordance with the new requirement.
