What you'll learn

Deploying multicast effectively in an enterprise network requires a strong grasp of both foundational and advanced routing concepts. In this course, Cisco Enterprise Networks: Multicast Concepts, you’ll gain the ability to implement and manage multicast protocols across IPv4 and IPv6 environments. First, you’ll explore multicast addressing and fundamental protocols like IGMPv2/v3 and MLD. Next, you’ll discover how to configure Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) in dense and sparse modes. Finally, you’ll learn how to apply advanced multicast features such as Rendezvous Points, Auto-RP, Bootstrap Router (BSR), and load sharing. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of multicast routing needed to design, deploy, and troubleshoot multicast solutions in enterprise networks.
