Overview

In partnership with FastLane, GlobalNet Training is pleased to offer the Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) course. This 5-day course enables students to use appropriate technologies to build scalable multilayer switch networks, to create and deploy a global intranet, and to execute basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. This course also enables students to improve traffic flow, reliability, redundancy, and performance for LAN switching that is self-supported or transported via service provider.

Who Should Attend

Network administrators and technicians who are responsible for implementing or troubleshooting a multilayer switched network in an enterprise environment as well as CCNP and CCDP certification candidates.

Cisco Career Certifications

This course is part of the following Certifications:

• CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional)
