Additional information

Complete training to master BGP on Cisco routers

The configuration of BGP on Cisco routers (BGP) is one of the most sought-after skills for network engineers, especially those working in ISP and MPLS environments. This protocol manages connectivity between different autonomous systems (AS) by influencing route selection and optimizing traffic management.

In this training, you will learn how to establish and monitor BGP sessions, use control strategies like Route Maps, Prefix-Lists, and AS-Path Filters. You will also discover how to manipulate BGP attributes to influence route selection, optimize protocol convergence, and ensure stable and secure connectivity between customers and service providers.

Optimizing route management with BGP

Thanks to this training, you will master advanced concepts such as multihoming and AS-Path Prepending, both crucial techniques for ensuring network redundancy and resilience. You will also learn how to configure Route Reflectors, essential in service provider environments to optimize BGP route management.

The course also covers key notions such as improving BGP convergence, which reduces latency during route changes, and limiting the number of BGP prefixes received by neighbors, thus ensuring better processing efficiency and enhanced security.

BGP training for complex networks

This course is ideal for professionals working in complex network environments, particularly in transit autonomous systems. It will teach you how IBGP and EBGP interact in a transit system and how to configure these systems for efficient packet routing. Transit routing is crucial in service provider infrastructures, and this training will show you how to successfully monitor and troubleshoot these networks.

By mastering techniques such as route filtering with AS-Path and Prefix-Lists, and using Route Maps to apply control policies, you will have all the necessary skills to ensure secure and efficient data exchanges between different AS.
