What you'll learn:
- OSPF Concepts and Theory
- Configuring OSPF
- Verifying OSPF operation
- OSPF on Cisco Routers
OSPF , or the Open ShortestPath First protocol, is the most common interior Routing Protocol in Networking. The only other protocol that comes close is IS-IS, and that protocol shares many of the fundamental concepts withOSPF.
Understanding the full depth of OSPF will help you:
Pass Certification Exams (CCNA, CCNP, JNCIA, JNCIP, etc...)
Conquer Job interviews for Network Engineering positions
Succeed and Excel in Network Engineer roles
This course is a modern, practical training series covering the full scope of OSPF. The stated goal of the series is to take anyone with a basic understanding of Networking and Routing, and make them a competentOSPFengineer.
The course will cover the most important (and most confusing)parts ofOSPF:
OSPFAreas
OSPF LSAs
OSPFNeighbor Adjacency States
DR / BDROperation
OSPFMetric Calculation
OSPFNetwork Types
OSPFArea Types
OSPFConfiguration and Verification commands
The course focuses on practical training -- most of the lessons involve configurations and demonstrations for the concepts that are taught.
There is particular emphasis on teaching the difference between verifying a devices configuration vs a devices operation. Every competent engineer must understand the difference between these two items.
The main thing that sets this course apart is the simplicity in which everything is explained an illustrated. You will be hard pressed to find better explanations of all the various OSPFconcepts above.
