Cisco BGP Training Class
Configuring BGP on Cisco Routers v3.2
 Training Class Description
In this comprehensive 5-day Authorized Cisco course, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of BGP, the routing protocol that is one of the underlying foundations of
the Internet. Explore the theory of BGP, advanced configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers, and detailed troubleshooting information. Our enhanced hands-on labs
provide you with the skills needed to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in both enterprise and service provider environments. Learn BGP network design issues
and usage rules for various BGP features, and learn to design and implement efficient, optimal, and trouble-free BGP networks. This course is part of the recommended training for the CCIPT certification.
Audience
Internet Service Providers, networking professionals who need to connect to ISPs, CCIP and CCIE certification candidates, and other individuals who need to understand how to configure Cisco routers
for the BGP protocol.
Upon Completion of this course you will learn
- Use BGP policy controls
- Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process
- Implement the correct BGP configuration to allow your network to act as an ISP
- Configure BGP with multiple BGP connections to other autonomous systems
- Configure a provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system
