Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)

Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers training (BGP) v4.1 teaches the underlying foundations of the Internet and new-world technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). It prepares students to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free BGP networks covering:

• The theory of BGP and 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
• BGP network design issues and usage rules for various BGP features

Who Should Enroll

• Network administrators
• Network engineers
• Network managers
• Systems engineers (who would like to implement BGP)

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Describe how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
• Describe how to use BGP policy controls to influence the BGP route selection process in a network scenario in which you must support connections to multiple ISPs
• Describe how to use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections.
• Describe how to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario in which multiple connections must be implemented
• Describe how to configure the service provider network to behave as a transit AS in a typical implementation with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems.
• Enable route reflection as possible solution to BGP scaling issues in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems.
• Describe the available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical BGP network

Course Prerequisites

The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
