[CBT Nuggets] Cisco CCNA 640-878 SPNGN2 [2014, ENG]

Welcome to SPNGN2: Cisco Certification and Getting the Most from this Course
00:14:22
If you need a little "spunk" to get going with this course, this Nugget is for YOU! Jeremy discusses the CCNA Service Provider certifications, talks about the "CBT Nuggets way" of training, and how you're able to get the most from this course.

IP NGN: Service Provider Architecture
00:20:36
WATCH THIS FIRST! In this Nugget, Jeremy focuses on the "Service Provider Big Picture," providing an overview of service provider to customer connectivity and interconnects. In addition, you'll understand what differentiates an IP Next Generation Network (NGN) Service Provider from a traditional service provider. This Nugget is a foundation stepping stone to the remainder of the course.

IP NGN: The Core Protocols of the Service Provider
00:26:16
Think of this as the "sneak peek" of the entire course. Based on a panel discussion with one of the largest service providers in the US west coast region, Jeremy has compiled a Most Valuable Protocol (MVP) listing of key technologies and provides an overview of each in this Nugget. Topics include IP connectivity, internal ISP routing (OSPF, IS-IS), external ISP routing (BGP), MPLS, and mBGP.

IP NGN: The Service Provider Router Dream Machines
00:19:10
Moving into the service provider environment introduces you to completely new lines of carrier-grade equipment. This Nugget introduces you to the course and gives you some visuals and specification on the types of equipment you can expect to see. Included here is the ASR 1000, 9000, XR 12000, and CRS series of equipment.

VLAN: What is a VLAN?
00:24:24
In Jeremy's Network Survival Guide, VLANs make the No. 2 most valuable technology! In this Nugget, you'll learn the core concepts of VLANs, see multiple practical examples of VLANs-in-action, and see the concepts behind the complex QinQ (802.1ad) double-tagging method used in many service providers today!

VLAN: Layer 2 Configuration
00:25:14
VLANs, in and of themselves, are a fairly simple concept and configuration. It's all the other VLAN-integrated network technology (STP, routing, tagging, etc.) that makes them seem complex. Because of that, Jeremy has broken down the VLAN configuration into multiple Nuggets, and this one focuses on VLAN creation, switchport configuration, trunking configuration, and even a full GNS3 topology build complete with EtherSwitch modules and Virtual PC Simulators (VPCS)!

VLAN: Layer 3 Configuration - Router on a Stick
00:27:08
This is more than a normal Nugget... it's an adventure in routing! By time you're through here, you'll be running to configure VLANs, client PCs, sub-interfaces, and isolated management VLANs, all while singing "All By Myself" (yes, you have to watch this Nugget to understand).

VLAN: Layer 3 Configuration - L3 Switching
00:18:38
While the "Router on a Stick (ROAS)" works fantastically well for smaller environments, L3 switching has become the standard for high-speed routing everywhere else. In this Nugget, Jeremy transitions your ROAS skills into a full L3 Switching configuration.

STP: Spanning Tree Revisited
00:25:39
Consider this Nugget your "cram session review" of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), originally covered in our Cisco ICND2 series as well as SPNGN1. Here, Jeremy discusses the core functionality of STP, how STP finds the best path around the network, and the flavors of STP (STP, PVST, RPVST/RSTP, MSTP).

STP: Configuring RSTP and MSTP
00:27:09
The title of this Nugget says it all. You will watch and learn as Jeremy walks through the configuration of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and verifies the configuration.

Metro Ethernet: Introducing the ME 3400 Switch
00:13:01
As service providers trench up miles of street to run fiber optic cables, they reach customer-saturated locations such as shared office space, strip malls, and condominiums. To bring these customers into the fold, the Cisco ME 3400 series switch delivers! In this Nugget, Jeremy breaks down the placement, functions, and port types of the Metro Ethernet series of switch.

Metro Ethernet: Understanding and Configuring Cisco REP
00:24:12
As the speed of communication increases the tolerance for failure seems to decrease! The once "rapid" failover of Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is no longer desirable. The remedy? Cisco's Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)! This Nugget walks through the concepts and configuration of Cisco REP in a service provider environment.

Metro Ethernet: Understanding and Configuring 802.1ad (QinQ)
00:11:51
Just when you get ONE VLAN tag down, another appears! It's QinQ! The ability to "double-tag" VLAN information on packets, typically used in a service provider environment. This Nugget breaks down the QinQ concepts, best practices, and configuration.

OSPF: Welcome to the World's Most Popular Routing Protocol
00:33:22
Learning RIP may be where you begin, but learning OSPF is what you want. This routing protocol rules the enterprise environment, as well as being heavily utilized to operate the internal core of a service provider network. In this Nugget, Jeremy discusses the place of OSPF (customer or service provider), the OSPF neighborhood, and OSPF metric adjustments.

OSPF: Basic OSPF Configuration
00:40:16
Walk step by step with Jeremy through a configuration of SIX different routers (running IOS and IOS-XR) for OSPF using a variety of different methods (pick your favorite)! You'll also see OSPF MD5 authentication and verification done right before your eyes.

IS-IS: The Routing Protocol You Never Knew
00:24:50
If you've never heard of the IS-IS routing protocol, this Nugget is for you! IS-IS (which is the routing protocol for OSI) was originally mandated by the US government to exist in every ISP. While many ISPs have moved away from IS-IS, it has many significant advantages over OSPF that are worth considering! This Nugget covers the concepts and design behind IS-IS along with a detailed comparison of OSPF vs. IS-IS.

IS-IS: Configuration
00:37:32
It's time to configure the "weird one:" the IS-IS routing protocol! This Nugget lives virtually entirely in the live interface configuring IS-IS routers, NSAP addresses, circuit-types, metrics, summary-addresses, and more!

BGP: Core Routing Protocol Concepts
00:29:41
In the customer realm, BGP is a "high-level" routing protocol known and needed by few. In the Service Provider arena, it's FUNDAMENTAL. In this Nugget, Jeremy illustrates the place and usage of BGP in the Service Provider environment, covers key BGP facts, and discusses Multiprotocol BGP (mBGP or MP-BGP).

BGP: The Simple Metric
00:25:23
You'll quickly find with BGP that there's nothing simple about the metric at all! Nonetheless, Jeremy does a masterful job in this Nugget guiding you through the important route attributes YOU NEED TO KNOW for BGP (Origin, AS-Path, Weight, Local Preference, and more!), along with the BGP route selection process.

BGP: Basic BGP Configuration
00:50:34
BGP is awesome and (as you might expect) tremendously huge! In this Nugget, Jeremy attempts the impossible: to demonstrate base BGP configuration (including forming neighbor relationships, mBGP address-families, advertising networks, route-maps, route-policies, and more) on IOS and IOS-XR all in a single Nugget. Yes, as you might expect, you'll want to save a little extra time to view this gem!

FHRP: Understanding HSRP, VRRP, and GLBP
00:26:38
Can you love it when things break? Jeremy thinks so... as long as you design it well! In this Nugget, you will explore First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) and discover their purpose, the three different flavors (HSRP, VRRP, GLBP), and walk through a configuration on IOS and IOS-XR.

Services: MPLS Technology Overview and Core Concepts
00:33:05
What service provider course would be complete without a discussion about MPLS? Label switching has become a standard issue technology in nearly every service provider in the world. In this Nugget, you will learn the functions of MPLS, the architecture of MPLS packets, and walk through a configuration and verification of MPLS on IOS and IOS-XR.

Services: Understanding Access Control Lists (ACLs)
00:17:03
Access Control Lists (ACLs) are such a big topic, we decided to bridge it over three individual Nuggets. In this introduction to ACLs, Jeremy describes the many uses of ACLs (they're not just for access control), the foundation rules, and the common types (standard and extended) of ACLs.

Services: Configuring Standard Access Lists
00:39:20
It's a video game adventure of sorts. (just watch and you'll understand). In this Nugget, Jeremy walks through three live scenarios of Standard ACL configuration on IOS and IOS-XR routers!

Services: Configuring Extended Access Lists
00:43:10
The name describes it all! Just like the Standard ACL Nugget, you will walk through three Extended ACL implementation scenarios on IOS and IOS-XR.

Services: The Road to IPv6
00:28:41
Yes indeed, the IPv4 IP address shortage is REAL! With the rapid Internet growth occurring around the world, there will soon be severe limitations on public IPv4 addresses. As the world changes to IPv6, there will be a "middle ground" of transition mechanisms needed. In this Nugget, you'll learn about NAT444, NAT64, DNS64, 6to4, GRE, 6rd tunneling, Dual-stack, and DS-Lite.

IOS Maintenance: Handling IOS XR Software
00:14:19
This final Nugget of the course focuses on IOS XR service and maintenance. By time you're done, you'll understand the difference between the three flavors of IOS (IOS, IOS-XE, and IOS-XR), the IOS-XR software release cycle, the upgrade process for PIE software packages, and disaster recovery using Turboboot.
