Definitive IP routing for engineers Turkmenistan Eğitimi

An intensive hands on IP routing course leading to LINX Accredited Internet Technician stage 2 focusing on routing in an IP environment. The course concentrates on OSPF and IS-IS but also covers STP and VLANS. Hands on sessions are used to reinforce the theory rather than teach specific manufacturer equipment.

TCP/IP Foundation for engineers

By the end of the course delegates will be able to:

• Calculate subnet numbers in seconds.
• Configure and troubleshoot static routes.
• Explain how OSPF works.
• Build resilient networks with VRRP and OSPF.
• Implement and troubleshoot OSPF, IS-IS and VLANS.
• Evaluate and choose appropriate routing protocols for particular scenarios.

Basic routing

Review of LAIT I routing, reading routing tables.

Setting up a routed network.

Static routes

Why use static routes? Default routes.

Configuring static routes.

First hop redundancy

Default gateways, VRRP/HSRP/GBLP. Load sharing, critical IP addresses.

VRRP.

OSPF

What is OSPF? Process IDs, passive interfaces.

Simple OSPF.

Subnetting

Bit boundary subnetting, calculating network numbers. Exercise: Subnetting.

OSPF

Metrics, convergence, DV vs. Link state, IGPs, classless, OSPF features, load sharing, OSPF authentication.

OSPF features.

OSPF within an area

How OSPF works, LSDB, LSAs, router IDs, hellos, configuring hellos, exchange protocol.

Investigating OSPF structures.

Areas

Scalability, why areas? Area IDs, area 0, ABRs, ABR resilience, areas & LSDBs & LSAs, Type 3s, virtual links.

Multi area OSPF.

Redistribution
