Course Overview
TopThis is an all-inclusive e-learning solution designed to provide students with an introductory to advanced level understanding of BGP concepts.The course covers the theory of BGP, configuration of BGP on Cisco IOS routers and detailed troubleshooting information. Extensive hands-on exercises are incorporated to provide learners with sufficient practice of the skills required to configure and troubleshoot BGP networks in a customer environment.
A core element of this training is the ability to learn new concepts and reinforce understanding through a wide range of integrated lab scenarios. These labs utilize Cisco IOS Software with Layer 2 and Layer 3 features and a CLI supported on IOS version 15 releases.
Instructional content is broken into manageable-sized segments with built-in assessments that provide students with feedback on their level of understanding and automated guidance back to sections of the training where further review may be needed.
Discovery labs complement the instructional content and are used to introduce new concepts, while graded Challenge questions and labs allow students to test their understanding of concepts and, when needed, provide access to hints and varied degrees of guidance.
Orientation videos are used to define course objectives and offer helpful hints on the product's use to help the learner get started. In addition, various "how to" videos within the product provide helpful illustrations of key fundamentals.

Duration: The BGP Training on Demand is a self-paced course based on the 5-day instructor-led training. It consists of 34 sections of instructor video and text instruction, along with interactive activities, 25 hands-on lab exercises, content review questions, and challenge questions.
This course is worth 40 Credits in the Continuing Education Program
Target Audience
TopCourse Objectives
TopAfter you complete this course you will be able to:
- Configure, monitor, and troubleshoot basic BGP to enable interdomain routing in a network scenario with multiple domains
- Use BGP policy controls to influence the route selection process with minimal impact on BGP route processing in a network scenario where you must support connections to multiple Internet service providers
- Use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections
- Implement the correct BGP configuration to successfully connect the customer network to the Internet in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections
- Enable the provider network to behave as a transit autonomous system (AS) in 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 in a typical service provider network with multiple BGP connections to other autonomoussystems
