that provides you with the required knowledge and skills to design, deploy, operate, and maintain an ISP backbone network.
This course takes you through the process of building a network from scratch, starting with Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP), moving to Border Gateway Protocols (BGP), and then to Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). The course begins by asking the question, What is an interior gateway protocol? and then proceeds to distinguish the two interior link-state protocols: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), as well as their characteristics.
You also learn how to set up a basic BGP configuration. BGP is a path-vector protocol that exchanges routing information between autonomous systems. You learn to set up interior and exterior neighbor peering sessions and policies because we don’t always want to advertise certain routes to certain neighbors. Peering session policy is accomplished with multiexit discriminator (MED) and local preference, and there are two ways to establish criteria for multihoming. Multihoming, or multiple connections, is a strategy that reduces the potential for catastrophic failure should any one router in a network fail. Basic MPLS configuration and VPN functionality is examined to see how they ensure isolated and secure traffic. This course also shows how to build traffic-engineering tunnels from head-end router to tail-end router, and test how dynamic traffic rerouting occurs to maintain traffic flow.
 
Core Networks Training on Demand course consists of 5 modules and 56 lessons, totaling more than 14 hours of video, along with 11 hands-on lab exercises.
Target Audience
The BCN course is intended for network professionals, including designers, implementers, and support staff who are involved with the design and deployment of large-scale networks for large enterprises or high-end ISP networks that use scalable technologies, such as IS-IS, OSPF, BGP, or MPLS.
Objectives
After completing this course, you should be able to:
● Identify the critical factors for availability, scalability, and manageability
● Implement an IGP (either OSPF or IS-IS) in a large-scale hierarchical network using current best practices for scalability
● Implement BGP in a large-scale hierarchical network using best practices for scalability
● Control routing policy by influencing the BGP path selection process, using route maps, prefix lists, and community strings
● Implement multihoming strategies using MEDs and local preference
● Implement and verify MPLS functionality in a large-scale network
● Implement and verify MPLS VPN connectivity in intra-autonomous-system environments
● Implement and verify MPLS traffic engineering practices
● Implement Layer 2 VPNs using Any Transport over MPLS (AToM)
