The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers
(BGP) v3.2 course provides students with in-depth knowledge of BGP, the
routing protocol that is one of the underlying 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 students with the
skills needed 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 students to design and implement efficient, optimal and
trouble free BGP networks.
Course Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
Given a network scenario with multiple domains, configure, monitor and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing
Given a network scenario where connections to multiple ISPs must be
supported, use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection
process with minimal impact on BGP route processing
Given a network scenario where multiple connections must be supported,
use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process
Given customer connectivity requirements, implement the correct BGP
configuration to successfully connect the customer?s network to the
Internet
Given a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections
to other autonomous systems, enable the provider network to behave as a
transit autonomous system
Given a typical service provider network, identify common BGP scaling
issues and enable route reflection and confederations as possible
solutions to these issues
Given a typical BGP network, use available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol
Prerequisites
