Implementing Cisco Multicast

Prerequisites:
The student should possess work experience and configuration skills for Cisco routers and LAN switches. These skills are best demonstrated through Cisco career certifications Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA). Previous exposure to internal routing protocols and LAN/WAN technologies allows the student to fully benefit from the topics discussed in various parts of the curriculum.
Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices (ICND)
Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)

Course Content:
Implementing Cisco Multicast" provides students with in-depth knowledge of the IP multicast building blocks that make this new IP service deployable and attractive from a business perspective. Bandwidth and processing power are wasted when data is replicated and sent from a source to potential receivers multiple times. With IP multicast and a sophisticated group of protocols, the information is delivered with minimal impact on bandwidth and processor load. This IP service ensures simultaneous information delivery only to the people and the machines that require the information.

Course Outline:
· IP Multicast Technology
· PIM Dense Mode Protocol, Configuration, Monitoring and Troubleshooting
· Sparse Mode Multicast Protocols, Configuration, Monitoring and Troubleshooting
· Reliable IP Multicasting, Configuration, Monitoring and Troubleshooting
· Implementation, Monitoring and Troubleshooting of IP Multicast on Data Link Layer
· Simple Intradomain Deployment of IP Multicasts.

Who Should Attend?
The course is targeted at pre- and post-sales technical engineers responsible for designing, implementing, and/or troubleshooting basic IP multicast enabled networks within a single domain.
It also targeted at those individuals who are working toward their CCIP certification.
