Learn BGP Concepts and Best Practices
Join us for the online class BGP and Advanced Routing Concepts: A Practical Workshop on November 13-14, 2012.
In one day of online training and a half-day lab, you will learn BGP and related routing concepts, including configuration, path selection, best practice recommendations and examples of BGP problems and solutions. You will configure Cisco routers in a lab environment to simulate different BGP configurations. This course is developed and presented by engineers from
NYSERNet, New York's research and
education network.
