Covers topics on Advanced IP Addressing, Routing Principles, Multicast Routing, IPv6, Manipulating Routing Updates, and configuring basic BGP, Configuring EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS. Recommended preparation for the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks exam required to become a Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP).

II: Course Objectives

This course provides the learner with in-depth information on interior gateway protocols (IGPs)including EIGRP, OSPF, and IS-IS. It also provides information on BGP, an exterior gateway protocol (EGP). The course covers routing principles of both distance vector and link-state routing protocols; IP addressing techniques; the theory behind the various routing protocols; and configuration and troubleshooting informtaion for each protocol. Hands-on lab exercises allow the learner to practice configuration and troubleshooting knowledge and to acquire the skills necessary to configure these protocols in working networks.
