This course focuses on how BGP is used in a service provider transit AS network. You will learn how iBGP and eBGP interact to transmit routes and forward data across the service provider network. You will also learn how to monitor and troubleshoot iBGP in the service provider transit AS.

This course teaches you how to use BGP policy controls to influence the BGP route selection process in a network scenario in which you must support connections to multiple ISPs. You will learn how to use various policy control techniques, including filter AS path, filtering prefix lists, and using outbound route filters. You will also learn how to use route map for BGP policy control and implement changes to BGP policies.

This course teaches you how to use BGP attributes to influence the route selection process in a network scenario where you must support multiple connections. You will learn how to modify the route selection process using weights, local preference, AS path prepending, and MED. You will also learn about how to use BGP communities and how they can influence the BGP route selection process.

This course focuses on the techniques you can use to provide Internet access through BGP. You will gain an understanding of customer-to-provider connectivity requirements and learn how to provide Internet connectivity for customers who are attached to a single or multiple service providers. Finally, you will learn how to scale the IGP and BGP in a service provider network.

This course focuses on tools and techniques to scale and optimize BGP performance. You will learn how to use route reflectors for scaling and improving the convergence of BGP within your network. You will also learn how to optimize BGP scalability to simplify and maximize the operation of your network.
