Authorized Self-Study Guide: Building Cisco Multilayer
Switched Networks (BCMSN), Fourth Edition, is a Cisco authorized, self-paced
learning tool for CCNP switching foundation learning. You will learn how to
create scalable multilayer switched networks by installing, configuring, monitoring,
and troubleshooting network infrastructure equipment for a campus switched network
and integrate advanced technologies such as VoIP and wireless.
This comprehensive book provides detailed information
and easy-to-grasp tutorials on advanced skills in design, configuration, operation,
and troubleshooting of enterprise level switched networks, including converged
IP data, voice, and Airespace wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity. The book assumes
only a basic understanding of networking so it provides a great deal of detail
on the topics covered.
This book is ideal for certification candidates who are
seeking a self-paced tool to learn the material covered in the latest BCMSN
exam.
Each chapter opens with the list of topics covered to
clearly identify the focus of that chapter. At the end of each chapter, Study
Tips list the main points related to the BCMSN exam. A summary of key concepts
for quick study and review questions provide you with an opportunity to assess
and reinforce your understanding of the material. Real-world case studies help
illuminate theoretical concepts.
In addition, chapters that cover Catalyst configurations
also include configuration exercises. Most of these are small-scale exercises
that can be performed on a single switch. The goal of using small-scale exercises
is to enable network professionals to practice the configuration exercises with
only a single switch.
- Provides a thorough introduction to campus switched network construction,
support, and security
- Explains the fundamentals of multilayer switched network design and specific
design features such as Spanning Tree Protocol, quality of service (QoS),
and high availability
- Covers virtual LAN (VLAN) and InterVLAN Routing implementation
- Incorporates wireless client access and configuring campus switches to support
voice technologies
- Uses extensive configuration examples and diagrams to solidify the explanations
of topics
- Presents self-assessment review questions, configuration exercises, chapter
objectives and summaries, and study tips to ensure information recall
This volume is in the Certification Self-Study Series
offered by Cisco Press. Books in this series provide officially developed self-study
solutions to help networking professionals understand technology implementations
and prepare for the Cisco Career Certifications examinations.
