Course Overview
Master BGP Design, Configuration, and Troubleshooting for Complex Networks
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the backbone of the internet and a critical routing protocol in large-scale enterprise and service provider networks. For the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Enterprise Infrastructure exam, mastering BGP is not optional—it’s absolutely essential.
Master BGP is a comprehensive training course that takes you from fundamental BGP concepts to advanced CCIE-level skills. Whether you’re preparing for the CCNP, the CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure certification, or you work daily with complex BGP deployments, this course gives you the technical expertise, knowledge, and confidence to succeed.
Through expert-led lectures and detailed configuration demonstrations, you’ll learn how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot BGP for IPv4 and IPv6, manage route selection, manipulate path attributes, and implement advanced features like route reflectors and confederations. You’ll explore eBGP and iBGP design considerations, multi-homing, route filtering, prefix lists, route maps, and policy-based routing. You’ll also work with advanced topics like BGP communities, conditional advertisement, graceful restart, and BGP multipath for intelligent load sharing.
Each lesson blends theory with hands-on configuration, ensuring you can apply what you learn in both the CCIE lab and real-world environments. By the end, you’ll be fully equipped to design, optimize, and troubleshoot enterprise-scale BGP networks with expert precision.
