Course Description:
The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) v3.1 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 Multi-protocol 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.
Objectives:
- Given a network scenario with multiple domains, configure, monitor and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable inter domain 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 processGiven 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 optimise the scalability of the BGP routing protocol
BGP is part of the Cisco Certified Internetwork Professional Qualification.
