Agenda
Routing and Switching Workshop
This course on Fundamentals of Routing and Switching is adopted from another NOG Workshop on Network Technology but with some slight minor changes. We use hands-on training in a well-equipped classroom over a five-day period to teach skills required for the configuration and operation of IP networks connected to the Internet.
The topics covered include: Basic routing; Basic ISIS routing; Intermediate BGP routing; Management of router configuration; and NOC (Network Operations Centre);
Who should attend: Technical staff who are now operating a wide area TCP/IP network, likely with international and/or multi-provider connectivity. Those who will be involved in the establishment and/or operation of a basic national network infrastructure in the country.
Prerequisites: Experience using TCP/IP-based networking technologies.
