Building Cisco Remote Access Networks Part 1

Training Provided by 123-CBT Computer Based Training This is the first in a four-part curriculum that prepares the learner to take the Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN) v2.0 exam. The course starts with coverage of the basics of WAN technologies and components. The areas then covered are: security in expanding networks, the configuration of asynchronous connections, and controlling network access through PPP.

Learn To:

• Identify characteristics of WAN connections.
  
• Identify features of circuit-switched connections.
  
• Identify features of packet-switched connections.
  
• Identify characteristics of modulation and demodulation.
  
• Identify features of cabling technologies.
  
• Identify modem modulation standards.
  
• Identify features of Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
  
• Identify commands used to enable Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP).
  
• Identify async interface commands for addressing on an asynchronous interface.

Audience:

This curriculum is designed for network administrators who are responsible for implementing and troubleshooting WAN and remote access solutions. They desire the knowledge and skills necessary to describe, configure, operate, and troubleshoot these solutions. The curriculum is designed also for network administrators intending to take the exam Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN 642-821).
