Objectives
To enable participants to perform advanced configuring functions and policy based for the Internet routing and be able to perform trouble shooting.
Who should attend?
This is a technical workshop. Network Operators, Administrators, Engineers and technical staff who are now or soon will be building or operating a wide area TCP/IP base Internet Service Provider (ISP) network or Internet eXchange Point (IXP), likely with international and/or multi-provider connectivity.
What you will learn
- Techniques for design, set-up, and operation of a metropolitan, regional, or national ISP backbone network. This includes OSPF, BGP4 and complex network configurations.
- Techniques for the design, set-up, and operation of Internet Exchange Points.
- Techniques for multiple connections to the Internet (multihoming), including connections to IXPs, other ISPs and to Internet Transit providers.
- Techniques to achieve optimal performance and configuration from a Cisco backbone router. This includes routing scalability, network design, and configuration tips.
Technologies Covered
Refresher on OSPF and iBGP; eBGP, BGP Scaling, BGP Multihoming Techniques, BGP Transit, BGP Best Practices, BGP Communities, Advanced IXP Design.
Each class is different and tuned to the participants requirements. If there are any specific requirements, these should be communicated to the instructors during the workshops. The instructors who teach at these workshops are among the top Internet engineers today, and between them, have a great deal of knowledge on many current technologies.
Prerequisite
Cisco IOS Fundamentals; user level UNIX and maybe some system administration; some use of network design, preferably TCP/IP-based; some knowledge of OSPF and of BGP.
Remark
Attendees can also bring own laptop computers.
