Configuring BGP On Cisco Routers v3.2
Revision: TE1204_20060318
Course Length:
5 Days
Course Description:
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.
Who Should Attend:
This course is intended for technical engineers responsible for designing, implementing and/or troubleshooting BGP networks and for candidates seeking professional level certification including CCIP or CCIE status. Others who will benefit are personnel who perform other network job functions.
Benefits of Attendance:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Configure, monitor and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing.
- Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing.
- Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process.
- Implement the correct BGP configuration to successfully connect the customer’s network to the Internet.
- Enable the provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system.
- Identify common BGP scaling issues and enable route reflection and confederations as possible solutions to these issues.
- Use available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol.
Prerequisites:
Students should have completed Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices or Cisco Certified Networking Associate. They should also have completed Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks or equivalent.
