OSPF

Routing in Enterprise Networks

ExperTeach Networking Logo

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) has established itself as a standardized routing protocol in many LAN and WAN networks. Careful planning and implementation of the special OSPF features allows all the possibilities of the link-state algorithm to be fully exploited. OSPF version 3 is the implementation for IPv4 and IPv6 and can support both protocols in the future. Participants will gain practical experience in working with OSPF, which can be used directly when setting up and optimizing a network. Fault diagnosis in a test network rounds off the presentation and conveys the typical pitfalls of the OSPF protocol.

Course Contents

  • Network design with OSPF

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.
