Description

This is the first course in a five-part series on Building Cisco Remote Access Networks 1.0 (BCRAN 1.0). This series teaches students how to build a remote access network to interconnect central sites to branch offices and home office/telecommuters. In addition, controlling access to a central site, as well as how to maximize bandwidth utilization over remote links is covered. This part in the series helps students learn about remote access basics, configuring asynchronous connections, and configuring dial-up connectivity.

Audience

This series is intended for network administrators who are responsible for implementing and troubleshooting enterprise WAN backbones and network technicians who are responsible for troubleshooting enterprise network implementations. This course will help candidates prepare for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) exam 640-505.
