Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)
The Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers training teaches the underlying foundations of the Internet and new-world technologies such as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). It prepares students 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 students with the skills needed to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in customer environments
- BGP network design issues and usage rules for various BGP features

Prerequisites:
The knowledge and skills that a learner must have before attending this course are as follows:
- Intermediate to advanced knowledge of Cisco IOS Software configuration
- Configuring and troubleshooting RIP, EIGRP, OSPF and IS-IS
- Skills and knowledge equivalent to those learned in:
- Implementing and Administering Cisco Solutions (CCNA)
- Implementing Cisco Advanced Routing and Services (ENARSI)
- Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Core Technologies (SPCOR)
Target Audience:
- Network administrators
- Network engineers
- Network managers
- Systems engineers (who would like to implement BGP)
Course Objectives:
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
