The Implementing Cisco Multicast (MCAST) v2.0 course is a five-day instructor-led

course covering the fundamentals of IP multicasting, which includes multicast
applications, sources, receivers, group management, and IP multicast routing protocols
(such as Protocol Independent Multicast, PIM) used within a single administrative
domain (intradomain). The issues of switched LAN environments and reliable IP
multicasting are covered as well. The course provides technical solutions for simple
deployments of IP multicast within a provider or customer network. The curriculum
provides the configuration and troubleshooting guidelines for implementation of IP
multicast on Cisco routers. The labs provide students with the hands-on experience
needed to successfully deploy IP multicast.
To participate in the hands-on labs in this class, you need to bring a laptop computer
with the following:
Windows 7 or 8.1 or 10 is recommended. Mac OSX 10.6 or greater is supported as
well.
Intel Celeron or better processors are preferred.
1 GB or more of RAM
Browser Requirements: Internet Explorer 10 or greater or Mozilla Firefox. (Safari
and Mozilla Firefox for Mac OSX)
All students are required to have administrator rights to their PCs and cannot be
logged in to a domain using any Group Policies that will limit their machine's
capabilities.
If you do not have administrator rights to your PC, you at least need permissions to
download, install, and run Cisco Any Connect Client.
If you are participating in a WebEx event, it is highly recommended to take this
class at a location that has bandwidth speeds at a minimum of 1 Mbps bandwidth
speeds.

Note: Students registering for this course will be receiving their course kit in a digital
format. To be able to view your digital kit you will need to bring a laptop PC and/or a
compatible iPad or Android tablet. The recommended system requirements and
instructions to access the course kit content can be found at the following link: Digital
Course Kit Requirements and Instructions (http://www.skyline-ats.com/home/digital-
course-kit-requirements-and-instructions)

Please be aware that this digital version is designed for online use, not for printing. You
can print up to 10 pages only in each guide within a course. Please note that every time
you click the Print button in the book, this counts as one page printed, whether or not you
click OK in the Print dialog.
If you have any questions or issues with meeting the requirements listed above, please
contact us at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) and provide the class name
to which you are attending and we will be more than happy to help.

Objectives 
Upon completion of this session, you should be able to:
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
