IS-IS

Routing in Provider Networks

ExperTeach Networking Logo

The IS-IS routing protocol has long since overtaken its competitor OSPF in terms of popularity, at least among ISPs. With the same performance, IS-IS is easier to configure and uses router resources more sparingly than OSPF. Even with the introduction of IPv6, IS-IS remains a good choice. Due to its flexibility, IS-IS can also be found in modern data centers or factory concepts where, for example, the classic spanning tree protocol reaches its limits. After the course, participants will have the knowledge to independently plan, implement and optimize IS-IS as a routing protocol in IP networks.

Course Contents

  • Where does IS-IS come from? A brief overview of the OSI world
  • OSI addresses
  • Protocol sequences and details
  • IP routing with IS-IS
  • IPv6 routing with IS-IS
  • Scalability: areas and levels
  • Optimization of routing and ECMP
  • Tuning: High availability with IS-IS
  • IS-IS and OSPF in comparison
  • Route redistribution and route summarization
  • IS-IS Troubleshooting
  • Outlook: IS-IS in Ethernet (TRILL, SPB, FabricPath, Campus Fabric)

The course focuses on a practical presentation of the IS-IS protocol and intensive exercises on a router network in order to grasp the potential of IS-IS routing and be able to implement it in practice.

The detailed digital documentation package, consisting of an e-book and PDF, is included in the price of the course.

Premium Course Documents

In addition to the digital documentation package, the exclusive Premium Print Package is also available to you.

  • High-quality color prints of the ExperTeach documentation
  • Exclusive folder in an elegant design
  • Document pouch in backpack shape
  • Elegant LAMY ballpoint pen
  • Practical notepad
Premium Print
The Premium Print Package can be added during the ordering process for € 150,- plus VAT (only for classroom participation).

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.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.

Tailor-made courses

You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
