This Hands-On course covers the main concepts of Interior and Exterior Gateway protocols, OSPF and BGP4 and the fundamental BGP configuration as well as specific BGP issues such as creating a routing policy, building scalable BGP configurations, building a multi-homed network, getting an AS number and how to connect to an Internet exchange.
OSPF forms the most powerful Interior Gateway Protocol available for running routing inside an Enterprise or with an ISP. Interconnecting ISP requires Exterior Gateway protocols, and the current Internet requires BGP4.
This course will give attendees a very strong and comfortable foundation in the Real-World of OSPF and BGP.
The course is targeted for people working with design, maintenance and configuration of routers in IP networks.
This course requires good TCP-IP knowledge as well as fundamental routing protocol knowledge.

Instructor-Led with Hands-On labs and exercises.
BTS always provides equipment to have a very successful Hands-On course. BTS also encourages all attendees to bring their own equipment to the course. This will provide attendees the opportunity to incorporate their own gear into the labs and gain valuable training using their specific equipment.
