Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks v1.0 (40hrs)
The Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) course is recommended training for individuals seeking certification as a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP). BSCI instructs network administrators of medium-to-large network sites on the use of advanced IP addressing and routing in implementing scalability for Cisco routers that are connected to LANs and WANs. The BSCI course contains numerous hands-on labs. The goal is to train network administrators to dramatically increase the number of routers and sites using these techniques instead of redesigning the network when additional sites or wiring configurations are added.
