Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers (BGP)

• Employee
• Customer
• Channel Partners/Resellers

This course is part of the following Certifications:

• CCIE Service Provider (CCIESP Service Provider)
• CCIE Routing & Switching (CCIERS Routing & Switching)

• Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 1, Version 1.1 (ICND1)
• Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices Part 2, Version 1.1 (ICND2)

After completing this course you will be able to:

• Configure, monitor and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing
• Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing on a network scenario where connections to multiple ISPs must be supported
• Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process
• Implement the correct BGP configuration to successfully connect an existing network to the Internet
• Enable a network to behave as a transit autonomous system given a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
• Identify common BGP scaling issues and enable route reflection and confederations as possible solutions to these issues
• Optimize the scalability of the BGP routing protocol.

An in-depth knowledge of BGP, the routing protocol that s one of the underlying foundations of the Internet, is covered. Students will also explore the theory of BGP, advanced configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers, and detailed troubleshooting information.
