A Complete Practical Learning For BGP Protocol in Cisco Nexus Switches. A CCIE Data Center (v3.1) Guide for BGP protocol

The Cisco Data Centers | MP-BGP course equips network engineers to deploy the BGP protocol effectively in modern data centers and enterprise networks. It also comprehensively covers all BGP topics essential for the CCIE Data Center v3.1 lab exam, focusing on Cisco Nexus platforms.

Although this course targets network professionals and data center specialists, you only need to have basic networking knowledge to enroll in this course! The course explains BGP from scratch.

This professional development and foundational learning course contains the following:

  1. High-quality, technical videos cover all required topics in the CCIE Data Center lab exam.

  2. Lab demos for a better explanation of all features learned in the course.

  3. Quizzes to confirm correct understanding.

  4. External resources to enrich your BGP knowledge.

  5. Packet captures and protocol message formats for detailed information.

  • BGP Basic Configuration: Covers essential BGP configuration, verification, and troubleshooting.

  • BGP Design Solutions: Covers several BGP Designs: RRs, Confederations, full-mesh, and eBGP Route-server.

  • BGP Path Selection: Covers the best path selection process, by which a BGP router examines the competing BGP paths (routes) in its BGP table for a single prefix, choosing one route as the best route.

  • BGP Route Advertisement: Covers BGP route advertisements using several methods such as network & redistribute commands, conditional advertisements, default routes, and route aggregation.

  • BGP Route Policies: Covers BGP route policies using tools such as AS path manipulation features, route filtering, Regex, Communities, and others.
