Overview
The Implementing Cisco Multicast (MCAST) v2.0 course is a 5-day course which teaches you the fundamentals of IP multicasting, including multicast applications, sources, receivers, group management, and IP multicast routing protocols such as Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) used within a single administrative domain. You will learn about issues in switched LAN environments and reliable IP multicasting, and technical solutions for simple deployments of IP multicast within a provider or customer network. The course reviews the configuration and troubleshooting guidelines for implementation of IP multicast on Cisco® routers. Labs offer hands-on experience to help you prepare to deploy IP multicast successfully.
Prerequisites:
The knowledge and skills that a learner should have before attending this course are as follows:
- Work experience and configuration skills for Cisco routers and LAN switches
Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:
- Describe IP multicast services
- Identify IP multicast issues on a data link layer
- Explain why Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is the most current scalable IP multicast routing protocol
- Describe Rendezvous Point (RP) distribution solutions
- Recognize the drawbacks of the PIM-SM and describe two extensions to provide possible solutions
- Explain basic concepts of Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) and its use in the IP multicast environment
- Configure and deploy Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) in the interdomain environment
- Describe solutions to mitigate security issues in the IP multicast network
- Describe the process of monitoring and maintaining multicast high-availability operations
- Design multicast-related application and network solutions in customer and service provider networks
