Description

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard, and the most scalable of all routing protocols. It is a 5-day boot camp. BGP is the routing protocol of the global Internet, as well as for Service Provider private networks. BGP has expanded upon its original purpose of carrying Internet reachability information, and can now carry routes for Multicast, IPv6, VPNs, and a variety of other data.

Prerequisites

  •  CCNP or equivalent knowledge

  • The students MUST have CCNP level knowledge of OSPF

  • THIS IS NOT FOR STUDENTS THAT HAVE NO OSPF OR ROUTING KNOWLEDGE
