Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)

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

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:
  • Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA)
  • Implementing Cisco Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI)
  • Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Core Technologies (SPCOR)

After completing this course, you should 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 Internet service providers
• 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 (AS) 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 with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
