Networking Courses > Cisco BGP Training Course
Cisco BGP Course Outline - this course is no longer scheduled to run. Please refer to schedule for current course titles.
Course Description
The course covers the theory of BGP, configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers, detailed troubleshooting
information with 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.
The course is intended for technical engineers, seeking
certifications and provides 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).
Upon successful completion of this course, the
delegate will be able to:
- 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 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 optimise the scalability of the BGP routing protocol.
Course pre-requisites:
Delegates are required to meet the following prerequisites:
- CCNA level of understanding
- BSCI Routing level of understanding
- Delegates should be familiar with Windows e.g. 95/98/NT/2000
