BGP Networking (BGP)

Synopsis

This is generally two days of Layer 3 (routing) that is part of a larger training program. To support this day of training the following topics may precede:
  • Layers 1/2/3 Refresher
  • Layer 2 Network Design and Labs
  • IP Addressing Plans
  • IPv6 Introduction

Target Audience

  • Network/systems administrators and engineers from ISP/REN/Universities or corporations, who are responsible for network maintenance and planning and who are part of a larger network requiring the use of BGP.

Pre-Requisites

  • Some command line experience.
  • Basic knowledge of TCP/IP networking
  • Initial knowledge of routing and routing principles.
  • PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING A LAPTOP

Workshop Topics

  • Core Network Design
  • Internal Routing with OSPF
  • High Availability
  • Multihoming
  • BGP
  • BGP atributes, policies and best practices

Objectives

At the end of the workshop students will be able to:
  • Explain IP core network designconcepts
  • Configure a network of routers to form an OSPF network
  • Explain and configure high availability features of OSPF
  • Explain the concepts of multihoming as it relates to BGP
  • Configure a network of routers using BGP to exchange routing information
  • Explain the use of BGP atributes and configure a netwokr to use those attributes to effect routing policies and best practices
