Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BCSN)

Based on the new BSCN instructor-led course developed by Cisco Systems®, Building Scalable Cisco Networks teaches you how to design, configure, maintain, and scale routed networks that are growing in size and complexity. This book focuses on using Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium to large network sites. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS Software services required to build scalable, routed networks.

As the replacement for the Advanced Cisco Router Configuration (ACRC) course, BSCN is one of four new courses recommended by Cisco for CCNP and CCDP preparation. Whether you are preparing for CCNP or CCDP certification or simply want to gain a better understanding of the products, services, and policies that help you control traffic over LANs and WANs and connect your network to Internet service providers, you will benefit from the comprehensive foundation information presented in this book.

In Building Scalable Cisco Networks you will study a broad range of technical details on topics related to routing, including routing principles, IP addressing issues such as variable-length subnet masks (VLSMs), route summarization, and protocol redistribution. The routing protocols Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) are investigated in detail. Configuration examples and sample verification output demonstrate troubleshooting techniques, and a case study is used throughout the book to review key concepts and to discuss critical issues surrounding network operation. Chapter-ending configuration exercises and review questions illustrate and help solidify the concepts presented in the book. This will start you down the path for attaining your CCNP or CCDP certification, as this book provides in-depth information on Cisco Routing exam topics.

• Understand the principles of classful and classless routing and the difference between link-state and distance vector protocol behavior
