We provide virtual course about MCAST: Implementing Cisco Multicast. Implementing Cisco Multicast is a five-day instructor-led course designed to provide technical solutions for simple deployments of IP multicast within a provider or customer network.
Course description:
his course covers the fundamentals of IP multicasting including 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 have also been incorporated. The labs incorporated in this course provide delegates with hands-on experience of the configuration and troubleshooting guidelines for implementing IP multicast on Cisco routers.
