TOTAL IP MULTICAST TRAINING COURSE DESCRIPTION
This training course provides an advanced three day hands on study of IP
multicast technology focusing on architectures, applications and protocols. All
aspects of IP multicasting are covered including PC, server and switch
implementations. Design, configuration, support and troubleshooting are all
covered in the course. Hands on sessions are used to reinforce the theory rather
than teach specific implementations.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
* Design multicast networks.
* Explain how multicast networks work.
* Compare and contrast the different multicast routing protocols, such as
DVMRP, PIM, MBGP and SSM.
* Configure PCs, servers, switches and routers for multicasting.
* Configure multicast routing protocols including:
PIM Dense Mode.
PIM Sparse Mode
BGP
SSM
Troubleshoot multicast networks.

* Duration
3 days
TOTAL IP MULTICAST TRAINING COURSE CONTENTS
* Introduction
What is multicasting? Why multicast? Why not multicast? Multicasting vs.
multiple unicasts, Multicasting vs. broadcasts, multicasting applications,
the use of unicast addressing for setting up multicast applications,
multicast use within standard protocols such as OSPF.
hands on Example multicast applications.
* Addressing
Layer two multicast addresses, Class D addresses, mapping layer 3 addresses
onto layer 2 multicast addresses. Multicast addresses on NBMAs, scoping
multicast traffic, Multicast address blocks, GLOP, IPv6 and multicasting,
anycasting.
hands on Multicast addressing.
* Multicast architectures
Where the different protocols are used, PC to router, router to router, how
switches can get involved.
hands on Analysing multicast packets.
* PC to router
Configuring Class D addresses, IGMP, packet formats, queries, reports,
maintaining groups, enhancements to IGMP (v2 and v3), Leaving a group,
querier elections,
hands on Analysing IGMP packets.
* Switches and multicasting
Controlling multicast traffic with switches, VLANS, static bridge table
entries, IGMP snooping, CGMP.
hands on Configuring switches for multicast environments.

* PIM Sparse mode
Rendevous points, discovering RPs,
hands on Configuring PIM SM, using different protocols for different groups.
PIM SM with one RP, using multiple RPs, Auto RP.
* MBGP
Multiprotocol routing, how does MBGP work? How MBGP carries multiple protocol
information, MBGP and multicasts, MBGP and IPv6.
hands on Configuring MBGP for multicasts.
