IP Multicast Fundamentals LiveLessons (Workshop)

IP Multicast Fundamentals LiveLessons (Workshop) is an engaging and unique video course taught in front of a live audience. Ron Fuller, a double CCIE in Routing and Switching and Storage Area Networking, and co-author of NX-OS and Cisco Nexus Switching: Next-Generation Data Center Architectures, teaches you the skills you need to understand IP Multicast and its configuration across multiple Cisco platforms.

This workshop starts with an overview of IP Multicast before moving on to Layer 2 of the OSI reference model with a discussion of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). Ron then moves on to Layer 3 and a review of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM). The workshop then dives into a discussion of options for Rendezvous Point (RP) engineering before focusing on controlling multicast traffic. Ron then shifts focus to Source Specific Multicast (SSM) before concluding with a discussion of IPv6 and Multicast.
