Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)

Description

The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers version 4.1 training 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. 

The course qualifies for 40 Cisco Continuing Education credits (CE) towards recertification. 

Course Objectives

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Implement the correct BGP configuration to allow your network to act as an ISP
• Configure BGP with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
• Configure a provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system (AS)
• Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable inter-domain 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
• Configure BGP to connect the customer network to the Internet when multiple connections must be implemented
• Enable route reflection and confederations as possible solutions to BGP scaling issues
• Optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical network

Who Should Attend

The primary audience for this course is as follows:

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