CCNP Self-Study : Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI)

CCNP Self-Study: Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) is a Cisco authorized, self-paced learning tool for CCNP, CCDP, and CCIP preparation. The book teaches readers how to design, configure, maintain, and scale routed networks that are growing in size and complexity. The book focuses on using Cisco routers connected in LANs and WANs typically found at medium-to-large network sites. Upon completing this book, readers will be able to select and implement the appropriate Cisco IOS Software services required to build a scalable, routed network. Replacing the now-retired Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN) course, BSCI covers the same topics as BSCN, with the addition of a section on the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol. This Cisco Press Self-Study guide covers all these topics, and serves as a valuable study guide and supplement to the instructor-led BSCI course for certification candidates. It also is valuable to any intermediate level networker who wants to master the implementation of Cisco networking devices in medium to large networks. Catherine and Diane were members of the team at Cisco Systems that developed the Building Scalable Cisco Networks (BSCN) instructor-led course, and co-authored Building Scalable Cisco Networks.
