A four days practical course: Ideal follow-up class for the Introduction to CISCO routers (Part1)

Language: English

DESCRIPTION
In this comprehensive 4-day hands-on Level 2 class, you will examine features of the router that are important for big networks: Advanced IP addressing,OSPF,E-IGRP,IS-IS,BGP

Implement OSPF confidently and simulate Internet connectivity with the use of BGP. Using the Internet simulation, learn how a Cisco Router can be an invaluable component of a network security plan through the use of Access Control Lists.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Network administrators and technicians who configure and support multiprotocol internetworks.

PREREQUISITES:
Introduction to Cisco Routers (Level 1) or equivalent experience
TCP/IP Subnetting and Routing or equivalent experience.
Local-area network administrative and technical experiences are pluspoints.

EIGRP

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) is a network protocol that lets routers exchange information more efficiently than with earlier network protocols. EIGRP evolved from IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) and routers using either EIGRP and IGRP can interoperate because the metric (criteria used for selecting a route) used with one protocol can be translated into the metrics of the other protocol.

IP Access List

Anyone who has managed a large network knows that control can be a wonderful thing. Sometimes, though, standard routing capabilities aren't enough. That's why router vendors have added filtering capabilities, such as access control lists, to their routers. Although access lists won't turn your router into a full-fledged firewall, they can be a powerful means of controlling your IP network.
· Standard IP access Lists
· Extended IP access Lists
· Named IP access Lists
· Verifying and monitoring access Control lists

OSPF

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a router protocol used within larger autonomous system networks in preference to the Routing Information Protocol (RIP)an older routing protocol that is installed in many of today's corporate networks. Like RIP, OSPF is designated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as one of several Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs)

· OSPF fundamentals and communication
· OSPF Routing and Network design
· OSPF Implementation, Troubleshooting and Management

Integrated IS-IS

Integrated IS-IS, is a standard link-state routing protocol that is gaining popularity in Connectionless Network Service (CLNS) networks and new world service provider IP backbones. IS-IS configuration and implementation issues as well as design and troubleshooting specifics are described. labs provide students with the skills necessary to deploy and operate Integrated IS-IS networks .

· Similarities between Integrated IS-IS and OSPF
· Differences between Integrated IS-IS and OSPF
· ISO addressing for Integrated IS-IS
