Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the routing technology that enables the largest and most sophisticated network in the world today - the Internet.

BGP is also one of the critical underlying foundations of new-world technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).

trained by expert dual CCIE certified with 10 + years of training and working experience in production networks.

This must-have advanced routing course 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.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be prepared to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble free BGP networks.

Learning objectives

  • the course goal is to provide learners with in-depth knowledge of bgp
  • Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic bgp to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
  • Use bgp policy controls to influence the route selection process
  • Use bgp attributes to influence the route selection process
  • implement the correct bgp configuration to successfully connect the customer network to the internet in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections „
  • „ identify common bgp scaling issues and enableroute reflection and confederations as possible solutions to these issues in a typical service provider network with multiple bgp connections to other autonomous systems „
  • „ use available bgp tools and features to optimize the scalability of the bgp routing protocol in a typical bgp network
