Implementing Cisco Multicast (MCAST) v2.0

The foundations of IP multicasting, including multicast applications, sources, receivers, group management, and IP multicast routing protocols (like Protocol Independent Multicast, or PIM) used within a single administrative domain (intradomain), are covered in the Implementing Cisco Multicast (MCAST) v2.0 course. Reliable IP multicasting and switched LAN contexts are also discussed. Technical solutions for basic IP multicast deployments within a provider or customer network are offered in this course. The configuration and troubleshooting directions for implementing IP multicast on Cisco routers are included in the program. Students get the practical skills necessary to implement IP multicast successfully in the laboratories.

Students get the practical skills necessary to implement IP multicast successfully in the laboratories. 

  • Introduce IP multicast services, to evaluate the functional model of IP multicasting and the technologies present in IP multicasting, acknowledge IP multicast benefits and associated caveats, and determine various types of multicast applications in order to understand IP multicast conceptual model and its implementation prerequisites
  • Identify IP multicast issues on a data-link layer, explain the methods of mapping network layer multicast addresses to data-link layer addresses and list the mechanisms for constraining multicast streams in a LAN environment
  • Introduce Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) as the most current scalable IP multicast routing protocol to learn the principles of protocol operation and details, become familiar with the determinism built into sparse mode multicast protocols, and configure and deploy PIM-SM in complex IP multicast network deployments
  • Review RP distribution solutions, recognize the drawbacks of manual RP configuration, become familiar with the Auto-Rendezvous Point (Auto-RP) and the bootstrap router (BSR) mechanisms, introduce the concept of Anycast RP that works in combination with the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP)
  • Recognize the drawbacks of the Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) and introduce two extensions to provide possible solution, learn about mechanics of the Source Specific Multicast (SSM) and bidirectional mode of PIM-SM in order to configure and deploy SSM and bidirectional mode of the PIM-SM in a large service provider network
  • Explain basic concepts of Multiprotocol BGP (MP-BGP) and its use in the IP multicast environment, apply steps associated with configuring MP-BGP with Address Family Identifier (AFI) syntax to support IP multicast in the interdomain environment
  • Configure and deploy MSDP in the interdomain environment
  • Introduce solutions to mitigate security issues in the IP Multicast network. Examine and implement suitable virtual private network (VPN) technologies, such as Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) with IP Security (IPsec) and Group Encrypted Transport (GET) VPN
  • Describe the process of monitoring and maintaining multicast high-availability operations. Introduce the PIM triggered join feature and describe how load splitting IP multicast traffic over Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) works
  • After gaining the knowledge of multicast and multicast related technologies in the previous modules you will be faced and challenged with three real life scenarios for applications of multicast. You will be able to answer to and design multicast related application and network challenges in customer and service provider networks

Mohammad was an amazing professor. I do not have a strong networking background and Mohammad was very patient in teaching me the basics in topics like wireless. The way he taught (hands on/labs) really helped solidify everything we learned through the 5 days of classes. I have nothing but positive feedback for the way he taught these course and his personality was amazing. 10/10 professor.
