Gain hands-on experience of CCNP Remote Access topics with lab scenarios for the new 642-821 BCRAN exam.

The Boson NetSim simulates both switching bridge tables and routing protocol tables to allow you to go OUTSIDE the labs. The Boson NetSim makes it possible to design and configure a network with 40 different router models and three different Catalyst switch models to choose from. BSCI, ISCW, BCMSN and ONT labs are available in the current version, for a list of supported technologies.
Features included in the Boson NetSim for CCNP

* IPv6 addressing
* OSPFv3 using IPv6 addresses
* Multicasting configuration
* New command parser

This book is one of the members of the Cisco Press family of publications that has been developed to help you prepare yourself for the Cisco Certification examinations. This book’s specific target is the Support exam (formerly the Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting [CIT] Exam). I am a Certified Cisco Systems Instructor, and CIT is one of the courses that I teach. I started teaching this course in the first quarter of 1999. I have passed both the old CIT 4.0 and the new Support exams, and I am fully familiar with the structure, content, and objectives of each of those exams.

Summarization Sanity Checker:
Any route summary can summarize 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, etc... (power of 2). The first network in the range must be in the multiple of the number summarized routes.

Example 1/2: Summarize 32 routes; first network 0, 32, 64, 128, etc... (exact match).

Example 2/2: Summarize 6 routes; first summary is 4, next summary is 2. (takes 2)
