BGP is the core routing protocol of the Internet, essential for moving
traffic between networks and vital for organizations that maintain
connections to multiple networks. This course provides CCNA-level
students with practical hands-on experience with the operation and
configuration of the Border Gateway Protocol within a multihomed campus
environment.
After a thorough introduction to the protocol, the role of BGP as an
exterior gateway protocol will be explored by leveraging students'
existing knowledge of interior routing protocols. Students will learn
the most important configuration concepts to build redundant Internet
connectivity to several ISPs using BGP and will learn the preferred
methods of adjusting BGP attributes to achieve outbound load-balancing
and internal stability.
Major course topics include:
- Introduction to the role BGP plays in a multi-homed campus environment
- iBGP and eBGP
- BGP neighbors
- Autonomous system paths
- BGP attributes
- Operation of iBGP
- iBGP stability
- Fully-meshed iBGP
- iBGP loopback source
- eBGP multihop
- BGP decision process
- Configuring BGP attributes with route-maps
- BGP next-hop attribute behavior and configuration
- Outbound BGP load balancing with local preference
- Decision algorithms
- Configuration of BGP route aggregation
- BGP partial routes and BGP full routes
- Multi-homed BGP connections to an ISP
- Multi-homed BGP connections to two ISPs
Prerequisites- CCNA or equivalent
- Proficient with Cisco access lists and wildcard masks
- Understand concepts of routing protocols
- Proficient with operation and configuration of OSPF and EIGRP on Cisco routers
