The course provides participants with in-depth knowledge of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), which is the basis for the functioning of the Internet. In addition to the detailed theory, the configuration of the protocol on Cisco routers and detailed troubleshooting are part of this course. Participants will gain important practical experience through numerous exercises. Thanks to the various solutions for a BGP network presented in the course, they will be able to design and implement an optimal, error-free BGP network at the end of the course.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
