Description

Unlock the full potential of IP multicast networking in this comprehensive course, designed for both beginners and advanced learners. Whether you're looking to understand the foundational concepts of IP multicast or diving deep into advanced concepts, this course has you covered.


What you’ll learn:


  • Fundamentals of Multicast: Grasp the core concepts, use cases, and the need for multicast in modern networks.

  • PIM Protocol Deep Dive: Explore Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), including PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), Static RP vs Dynamic RP, with hands-on demonstrations.

  • Practical Skills: Master multicast concepts first using CLI, then understand via debug messages, and finally understand with Wireshark packet capture.

  • Multicast Network Design: Learn Real world lessons, best practices for designing scalable, efficient multicast networks that meet real-world business needs.

Through a blend of whiteboarding, command-line demos, packet captures and real world lessons, you'll gain the confidence to design, configure, and troubleshoot multicast networks. The course will teach you not only how to configure multicast but also how to design scalable, efficient multicast networks. Also addresses common questions like where to place my RP.


By the end of the course, you'll be able to design and implement multicast solutions that deliver high-quality data streams efficiently and securely.

Who this course is for:

  • Any Network engineer working with Data Centers, Enterprises or Service Providers or someone who aspire to be a network engineer.
