BGP | Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers
The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) version 4.0 Cisco® Training on Demand course provides you with indepth knowledge of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), the routing protocol that is one of the underlying foundations of the Internet, and newer technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). This course prepares you to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free BGP networks.
In addition, you learn the theory of BGP and how to configure BGP on Cisco IOS® routers. You learn detailed troubleshooting information and the skills necessary for configuring and troubleshooting BGP networks in customer environments. Finally, you learn about BGP network design issues and usage rules for various features.
 
Objectives
After completing this course, you should be able to:
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 enroll
Internet service providers
Networking professionals who need to connect to ISPs
CCIE certification candidates
Individuals who need to understand how to configure Cisco routers for the BGP protocol
 
Prerequisites
The knowledge and skills necessary before attending this course are:
Completion of Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices (ICND1) or Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) Completion of Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks (BSCI) or equivalent
