Cisco Advanced Routing: Tier 3 Service Providers

Service Provider networks are great places to expand your networking skills and perspectives. This course will teach you how to configure and troubleshoot routing protocols and IP services using a large-scale network topology.

Believe it or not, enterprise and service provider networking technologies are converging, and this course helps illustrate that. In this course, Cisco Advanced Routing: Tier 3 Service Providers, you’ll learn to design, configure, and manage a small Internet Service Provider (ISP), which in many ways resembles a large enterprise. First, you’ll explore OSPF, a complex and popular routing protocol common deployed in enterprises and service providers alike. Next, you’ll apply BGP both for upstream Internet connectivity and MPLS layer-3 VPN service, which large enterprises commonly use to provide multi-tenancy at scale. Finally, you’ll learn how to optimize the network using a subset of common IP services relating to management, monitoring, and security. Most of these topics are discussed using both IPv4 and IPv6 in the context of dual-stacking. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Cisco enterprise networking needed to manage large sized enterprise networks.
