2 Days / 4 Live Online Sessions (0900-1230)
Description
In this 2-day online training course, participants will delve into the principles of routing protocols, focusing on Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This course, with the code IP1306, is designed to provide a solid foundation in these two key routing protocols essential for network engineers.
Ideal for network engineers seeking to enhance their knowledge of link state protocols like OSPF and the Path Vector Algorithm used in BGP, this course is a prerequisite for those considering diving into Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Participants are required to have a basic understanding of IP and networking, which can be obtained through attending Wray Castle's courses 'Internetworking, Ethernet LANs and VLANs Principles – IP1304' and 'IP Addressing and Internet Protocols Principles – IP1305'.
Throughout the training, participants will cover a range of topic areas including the purpose of routing, route table management, routing traffic, interior and exterior gateway protocols, OSPF concepts and configuration, as well as Border Gateway Protocol Version 4 (BGP4) and MPLS VPN operation. By the end of the course, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of these routing protocols and be better equipped to handle complex network configurations.
