In the Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN) course, part of the recommended training path for
those who seek the CCNP (Cisco Certified Network
Professional) certification, participants learn how to build, configure and troubleshoot a remote access network to interconnect central sites to branch offices and small offices/home offices.
Participants also learn how to control access using basic authentication and authorization configurations, how to maximize bandwidth utilization over the remote links, and how to set up virtual private networks (VPNs) using IPSec.
This course will prepare participants to successfully pass the Cisco certification exam #642-821 Remote Access . After passing Exams #642-801, -811, -821, and -831, participants will receive the CCNP certification .
