Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers Training in Nigeria

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

• Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Cisco IOS Software configuration
• Configuring and troubleshooting RIP, EIGRP, OSPF and IS-IS
• Skills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in:
  • CI-CCNA
  • CI-ENARSI

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
