Over 13 hours of hands on training covers Cisco Switching and the 642-812 BCMSN Exam. Get your hands “dirty” as I lead you through scenarios and examples that will prepare you for any challenge Cisco throws at you.
The 642-812 BCMSN exam tests knowledge and skills necessary to implement scalable multilayer switched networks.
BCMSN is one leg in the series of Cisco CCNP courses. The knowledge in this course can be used toward any one of 3 certifications: CCNP, CCIP, and the CCDP. Currently, Train Signal offers training for the full CCNP series.

* Making a Nonroot Swith the Root -Why and How
* TCN BPDUs
* Load Sharing with the Port-priority command
* Extended System ID Feature
Video 8 & 9
Advanced Spanning Tree Protocol Features – Part 1 & 2
As the title suggests, these are advanced topics needed for the exams and the real world, since several should be running in your network currently. You will need to understand when, where, and how to configure for answering exam questions and when working on your network.
* Portfast, Uplinkfast, Backbonefast
* Root Guard, BPDU Guard
* UDLD
* Loop Guard
* UDLD, BPDU Skew Detection
* Rapid STP, PVST, PVST+, CST, MST
Video 10
EtherChannels
EtherChannels are prevalent in today’s networks, so you need to know how to troubleshoot, configure, verify, and understand how they work. This information is important for passing the BCMSN, working with real world networking, acing an interview, and for use in production networks.
* What are they, and why do we use them?
* Negotiation Protocols
* Configuration & Verification
Video 11, 12 & 13
Securing the Switches – Part 1, 2 & 3
Not only will you need to understand how to secure the switches for exam success, but, more important, for securing your own network in the real world. It’s important to know who your enemies are so you can keep them out. Security is a growing field, so if this is an interest, it is wise to specialize in this information.
* Introduction to AAA
* Port Security
* Port Security & Dot1x Port-Based Authentication
* SPAN
* VLAN ACLs
* Private VLANs
* DHCP Snooping, Dynamic ARP Inspection, IP Source Guard
* MAC Address Flooding & VLAN Hopping Attacks
Video 14, 15 & 16
Multi Layer Switching – Part 1, 2 & 3
This section begins with introductory theory on multi layer switching. After that begins the fun, hands-on labs to teach you the concepts and configuration (if you’ve never worked with Layer 3 switches before, which are increasingly popular). It’s necessary to understand multi layer switching for the BCMSN, especially the HSRP segment.
* Route Caching, Cisco Express Forwarding
* Inter-VLAN Routing & SVIs
* Fallback Bridging
* Router Redundancy Protocols (HSRP, IRDP, VRRP, GLBP)
* Server Load Balancing (SLB)
Video 17

* DiffServ at L2 & L3
* Trusting Incoming Values
* Basics of AVVID
* Power Over Internet
Video 18
Wireless Networking
Is important for passing the exam; it’s also necessary for becoming a solid network admin. You must understand the pros and the cons, and stay current. The standards are constantly changing, so you must know the benefits and limitations, as well as, how it works with your current network.
* Wireless Basics and Standards
* Antena Types and Usage
* CSMA/CA
* CCX Program
* The Lightweight Access Point Protocol
* Aironet System Tray Utility
