BGP is very scalable and is used as a routing protocol in large IP networks - such as the Internet. It is used in the ISP area both between the autonomous systems (AS) and within the AS. Due to its properties, it is also used in the MPLS VPN concept - here both in the access area and in the core. BGP therefore plays a central role in the service provider environment. Enterprise administrators also need BGP know-how, as BGP can be used here when connecting to the WAN. As BGP is of such central importance for accessibility, particular emphasis is placed on reliability and availability. In the event of a fault, it is therefore essential to carry out efficient troubleshooting. The practical knowledge imparted here enables participants to systematically troubleshoot complex routing scenarios with BGP.

Target Group
-
The course is primarily aimed at employees from Level 1 and Level 2 support at service providers, but also at enterprise administrators who operate BGP-based WAN connections.
-
Knowledge Prerequisites
-
Good network knowledge, especially of TCP/IP, is absolutely essential. Participants should also be familiar with the basic principles of the routing protocols OSPF, IS-IS and BGP. The courses State-of-the-Art Routing I and State-of-the-Art Routing II are a good preparation. Participants must also be familiar with Cisco IOS. Knowledge of this at the level of a CCNA is the minimum requirement.
