Product Code: bsci08 Time: 3.0 hour(s) CEUs: Available

Summary:

This course explores advanced concepts of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). The learner will examine BGP scalability through route reflectors and managing policy using prefix lists, and will learn how to connect to multiple ISPs via BGP and how to configure and verify multihomed BGP scenarios. The course also discusses methods for redistributing routes between BGP and IGPs.

Objectives:

  • Calculate connections needed for IBGP
  • Design and configure a route reflector
  • Use the show ip bgp command
