The
following topics are general guidelines
for the content likely to be included
on the CCNP BCRAN Test 642-821.
However, other related topics may also
appear on any specific delivery of the
test (excerpts from Cisco Certification
web site).
1. General Knowledge
1.1. Describe how different WAN technologies
can be used to provide remote access
to a network, including asynchronous
dial-in, Frame Relay, ISDN, cable modem,
and DSL
1.2. Describe traffic control methods
used to manage traffic flow on WAN links
1.3. Explain the operation of remote
network access control methods
1.4. Identify PPP components, and explain
the use of PPP as an access and encapsulation
method
1.5. Describe the structure and operation
of virtual private network technologies
1.6. Describe the process of Network
Address Translation (NAT)
