Training Course Outline

Data Networking Courses   TCP/IP, IP, IPv6 Training Courses

OSPF and BGP4

View course dates

Course Duration: 2 days

Course Code: PDN017

Course Description:

This is a 2-day course which starts by introducing students to the main concepts of OSPF. The growth of internetworks has put them beyond the scalability limits of distance vector routing protocols such as RIP and IGRP to the extent that only link state routing protocols such as OSPF and IS-IS will suffice. Link state protocols are more scalable, more reliable, and offer faster convergence. All of these features are becoming essential for the scalable multimedia networks of the future.

 

On this course you will learn how to:

- Describe the structure of the Internet
- Decide which routing protocols to use in each practical circumstance
- Plan the configuration of OSPF
- Divide an OSPF network into areas for efficient routing
- Set-up and Autonomous System
- Interconnect to other autonomous systems and to ISPs with BGP4
- Plan the configuration of BGP4 in your organization
- Administer BGP routing policies

 

Alternative training courses:

 

Delegates working on Cisco networks requiring hands on skills configuring BGP should look at Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers.

Prerequisites:

Delegates should have a good understanding of LAN and WAN data link protocols, Network layer operation - addressing, ping and trace, and Routing protocols - distance vector, link state, hybrid.

Delegates can gain these skills by attending Hands On TCP/IP and Internet Protocols. See prerequisite courses below.
