BGP v4.1 - Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (Live Online)

Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers version 4.0 provides students with in-depth knowledge of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the routing protocol that is one of the foundations of the Internet and New World technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). This curriculum covers the theory of BGP, configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers, detailed troubleshooting information, and hands-on exercises that provide learners with the skills that they need to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in customer environments. Different service solutions in the curriculum cover BGP network design issues and usage rules for various BGP features, preparing learners to design and implement efficient, optimal, and troublefree BGP networks.ObjectivesAfter completing this course the student should be able to:Describe how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domainsDescribe how to use BGP policy controls to influence the BGP route selection process in a network scenario In which you must support connections to multiple ISPsDescribe how to use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connectionsDescribe how to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario in which multiple connections must be implementedDescribe how to configure the service provider network to behave as a transit AS in a typical implementation with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systemsEnable route reflection as possible solution to BGP scaling issues in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systemsDescribe the available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical BGP networkPrerequisitesThe knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Cisco IOS Software configurationConfiguring and troubleshooting RIP, EIGRP, OSPF and IS-ISSkills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in:Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices v2.0, Part 1 (ICND1 v2.0) andPart 2 (ICND2 v2.0), or Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated Version 2.0 (CCNAX v2.0)Implementing Cisco IP Routing (ROUTE v2.0)Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks Part 1 (SPNGN1) v1.2Building Cisco Service Provider Next-Generation Networks Part 2 (SPNGN2) v1.2Who Should AttendThe primary audience for this course is as follows:This course is intended primarily for network administrators, network engineers, network managers and systems engineers who would like to implement BGP.The secondary audience for this course is as follows:This course is intended for network designers and project managers. The course is also recommended to all individuals preparing for BGP exam.Course OutlineModule 1: BGP OverviewModule 2: BGP Transit Autonomous SystemsModule 3: Route Selection Using Policy ControlsModule 4: Route Selection Using AttributesModule 5: Customer-to-Provider Connectivity with BGPModule 6: Scaling Service Provider NetworksModule 7: Optimizing BGP ScalabilityNote: Students registering for this course will be receiving their course kit in a digital format.
