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
