BGP - Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers

This five-day instructor-led course provides students with the 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 course curriculum covers the theory of BGP, configuration of BGP on IOS routers, detailed troubleshooting information and hands-on exercises that provide students with the skills needed to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks

After completing this course participants can register to sit the (BGP) 642-661 exam.

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Configure, monitor and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing when given a network scenario
• Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing in situations where connections to multiple ISPs must be supported
• Implementing the correct BGP configuration to successfully connect a network to the Internet
• Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process
• 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 optimise the scalability of the BGP routing protocol, when given a typical BGP network
