Lessons
Learn to design, implement, and troubleshoot IP multicast-enabled networks.In this course, you will learn how infrastructures are multicast enabled to support the efficiency of multicast business applications and services. Learn to identify Cisco products and protocols required to implement multicast solutions in both local and wide area networks within your enterprise and beyond. You will implement services at each layer of the network to obtain membership to multicast groups in a working environment. Our hands-on labs will give you access to several multicast applications and troubleshooting tools.

Labs
We have developed additional in-depth labs that complement those recommended by Cisco. The network core contains a 3550 switch and six routers in a pod and there may be up to thee pods. Our ICMI labs aren't demos - they provide the tools and real-world scenarios for hands-on practice and learning. All configuration, monitoring, and debugging is done by you.
Lab 1: Multicast Applications and AddressingLab 2: Setup and Configuration
Lab 3: IGMP Configuration and Operation
Lab 4: PIM Dense Mode Configuration
Lab 5: Source Specific Multicast and Bi-Directional PIM
Lab 6: Redundant Rendezvous Points
Lab 7: IP Multicast Administrative Scoping
Lab 8: Tunneling Multicast over a Unicast Network
Lab 9: Tunneling Multicast over a DMVPN Using mGRE and NHRP
Lab 10: Multicast over a DMVPN with IPsec

I would never take another course that starts at 11AM and goes to 9PM again. The way the course was laid out really took away from the capturing of what was presented as it was 5-6 hours of watching a screen before getting to the actual labs. There has to be a better way to lay out this particular course. In my previous course, the lectures were broken up by labs which worked out fantastic and kept you engaged in the course. There were days when in order to actually complete the labs, would go over the 9PM day end time frame. Was able to get the primary labs done, but if you want to get all the content completed, you cannot complete it in the window of this course, you will need to come back on your own time.
