Overview/Description
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) 3.0 is another critical course for any individual interested in Cisco networking and/or Cisco certification. This incredibly challenging course features in-depth discussions and hands-on exercises focused around the most robust dynamic routing protocols available for Cisco equipment. These protocols include OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and BGP. BSCI 3.0 ensures network administrators of medium-to-large network sites can implement advanced IP addressing designs for scalability of Cisco routers connected to LANs and WANs using the latest in IPv6 technologies. A key goal of the course is to train network administrators to implement a routed network that may feature an increasing number of routers/sites and guarantee a substantial redesign for the routing infrastructure is never required. Due to the critical nature of this content, Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks is a prerequisite for many other advanced Cisco courses and is considered an absolute must for any individual contemplating the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) designation.

Target Audience
This course is a necessity for any student that desires to learn more about Cisco networking – especially the implementation of scalable, routed networks. This course is also recommended for any student interested in professional level Cisco certifications or beyond.

Prerequisites
The BSCI course focuses on the technology required for enabling scalable routed networks. To fully benefit from this course, the student must be familiar with general networking concepts and have Cisco router operation and configuration experience. In addition, the course requires an understanding of TCP/IP and routing protocols, standard and extended access lists, PPP configuration over serial links, and Frame Relay operation and configuration on interfaces and sub-interfaces. Successful completion of Introduction to Cisco Networking Technologies (or equivalent experience) is strongly recommended.
