Overview
The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP) training teaches the underlying foundations of the internet and new-world technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Learn how to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free BGP networks covering the theory of BGP and configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers, detailed troubleshooting information and hands-on exercises that provide you with the skills needed to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in customer environments, and BGP network design issues and usage rules for various BGP features.
Who Should Enroll
- Account and project managers
- Cce administrators
- Deployment engineers
- Technical sales
How you’ll benefit
This training will help you:
- Explore the theory of BGP and configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers
- Discover detailed troubleshooting information and hands-on exercises that provide you with the skills needed to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in customer environments

COURSE OBJECTIVES
After taking this training, you should 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
