Systems engineers (who would like to implement BGP)

Module 1: BGP Overview
Module 2: BGP Transit Autonomous Systems
Module 3: Route Selection Using Policy Controls
Module 4: Route Selection Using Attributes
Module 5: Customer to Provider Connectivity with BGP
Module 6: Scaling Service Provider Networks
Module 7: Optimizing BGP Scalability

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

Describe how to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
Describe how to use BGP policy controls to influence the BGP route selection process in a network scenario in which you must support connections to multiple ISPs
Describe how to use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections.
Describe how to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario in which multiple connections must be implemented
Describe how to configure the service provider network to behave as a transit AS in a typical implementation with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems.
Enable route reflection as possible solution to BGP scaling issues in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems.
Describe the available BGP tools and features to optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol in a typical BGP network
