Course Format: Classroom | E-learning | Virtual Class | Online | On-site | Blended | Self-paced

Course Description:

'' The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) 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 production 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.


Objectives
After finishing this module, the student will be able to:
Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing in a network scenario where you must support connections to multiple ISPs
Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections
Implement the correct BGP configuration to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections
Enable the provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
Identify common BGP scaling issues and enable route reflection and confederations as possible solutions to these issues in a typical service provider network
Use available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical BGP network


Importance
The BGP course is one of the core IP routing courses and is a necessary prerequisite for MPLS courses and an optional prerequisite for the IP Quality of Service courses.

Target Audience
The primary audience for this course is as follows:
Pre- and post-sales technical engineers who are responsible for designing, implementing, or troubleshooting BGP networks

The secondary audience for this course is as follows:
Personnel who perform other network job functions, such as network performance or design, in a BGP networking environment
Candidates seeking professional-level certification, including Cisco CCIP™ or CCIE® status


Prerequisite Knowledge
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA)
Completion of Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) or equivalent
