Description:
Instructor Edition, 5 Day(s) of Training
Associated Certifications: 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.

Course Content:
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)®.

Course Objectives:
After completing this course, the student should be able to:

• Given a complex network design, install physical network devices and build a functional configuration as specified by the design and installation plan.
• Given the network requirements, install modules and upgrades to meet equipment configuration requirements.
• Given a complex network design, interconnect the network devices as specified by the design and installation plan.
• Given a new network requirement, execute an, add, move or, change so that the network functions in accordance with the new requirement.
• Given a completed network implementation, verify the functionality of the network to ensure that it functions as specified.
• Given available tools, verify connectivity to non-Cisco devices.
• Using IOS commands, configure Access Lists and manage device configuration files to reduce device downtime and according to best practices.
• Using the appropriate 'Show' & 'Debug' commands, display network operational parameters so that anomalies are detected.
• Given a network problem, verify functionality between devices at the OSI physical layer & utilize a problem-solving model to identify possible causes and solutions
