BCMSN 642-811

Video Instructor-Led Format

Audience	Network engineers, LAN professionals, Application developers, programmers, project leaders and other technical individuals that will need to acquire the necessary skills for the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP exam series.
Duration	6 CDs
Course Abstract	BCMSN is a qualifying exam for the Cisco Certified Network Professional CCNP as well as the Cisco Certified Design Professional CCDP certifications. The BCMSN exam (642-811) will test materials covered under the new Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks (BCMSN) CCNP course. The exam will certify that the successful candidate has important knowledge and skills necessary to build scalable multilayer switched networks; create and deploy a global intranet, and implement basic troubleshooting techniques in environments that use Cisco multilayer switches for client hosts and services. The exam covers topics on switching technology, implementation and operation, planning and design, and troubleshooting.
