PowerPackage Routing

OSPF & IS-IS

ExperTeach Networking Logo

This PowerPackage combines the content of the OSPF – Routing in Enterprise Networks and IS-IS – Routing in Provider Networks courses in one event. Compared to booking the courses individually, you save € 995,-.

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) has established itself as a standardized routing protocol in many LAN and WAN networks in the enterprise sector. Version 3 of OSPF is the implementation for IPv4 and IPv6 and can support both protocols in future. 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 OSPF and IS-IS as a routing protocol in IP networks. Participants will gain practical experience in dealing with OSPF and ISIS, 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 both protocols.

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.
