Ip Routing Border Gateway Protocol (Bgp)

Master the Knowledge to Manage the Network Hands-on learning in a simulated networking environment Cisco best practices and expertise Anytime, anywhere self-paced learning Master Cisco Best Practices With CIM IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), you can master the protocol that allows you to create loop-free, interdomain routing between one autonomous system (AS) and another. Offering self-paced instruction and practice, this robust learning tool gives you a quick and cost-effective way to acquire Cisco knowledge and expertise. From an introduction to BGP concepts and terminology to an overview of Cisco IOS(r) Software commands, you'll learn how to configure basic BGP settings on Cisco routers. Mastering techniques developed by Cisco Technical Assistance Center engineers, you'll practice applying BGP path selection techniques, controlling the flow of BGP updates, enabling BGP multipath, and controlling route advertisement. The final module also presents you with an opportunity to test your troubleshooting skills through BGP Challenge Labs. Interactive Simulation Environment CIM IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) places you in a simulated networking environment without the need for Cisco routers. You work with virtual Cisco internetworking devices, developing your networking skills without the costly investment in actual network hardware. Lab scenarios that cast you in the role of a network administrator accompany each tutorial and simulated Telnet session. These lab exercises vary and grow in complexity as new BGP routing concepts are presented, allowing you to verify and troubleshoot your BGP configurations. Self-Paced Anytime, Anywhere Learning You control the pace of learning. You can go through the tutorials, Configuration Labs, and Challenge Labs in any order, depending on what you want to learn or practice. Optional audio and video guides supplement the instructions on screen, and hyperlinks connect you to a glossary and Cisco IOS Software command references. Technical tips and pop quizzes reinforce your growing knowledge, tests at the end of each module allow you to assess your progress, and network topology diagrams illustrate application of configuration and troubleshooting methodologies. This robust combination of technology tutorials, simulated lab exercises, descriptive network topologies, audio and video guides, hyperlinked references, lists of supported router commands, and quizzes results in a superior learning product and provides you with what matters most-hands-on networking experience. CIM IP Routing: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) helps you master the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP) necessary to deploy and manage IP networks and can be used as a preparation tool for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP(r)) exam and the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE(r)) exam. Create BGP loop-free interdomain routing between autonomous systems. Configure external and internal BGP (eBGP and iBGP) on a clustered network. Identify path selection techniques and use them to influence an AS in the selection of the best path. Identify the main enhancement of BGP4 Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR). Use route maps to control and modify routing information. Evaluate the effectiveness of BGP peer groups and configure them for eBGP and iBGP. Enable the BGP multipath feature to provide load balancing between identical routes. Design and apply alternative means of advertising and redistributing networks. Use show and debug commands to troubleshoot IP routing problems in a network. This product is in the Cisco Interactive Mentor Technology Tutorial Series offered by Cisco Press.
