Deploying BGP for Cisco Networks by Pearson

Master Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), one of the most crucial routing protocols for enterprise-scale networks. In this course, learn the essentials of BGP for configuration, management, and troubleshooting in Cisco-based networks. Get started with the fundamentals, then learn how to optimize scalability in large networks. Along the way, get introduced to Multiprotocol BGP for IPv6, including IPv6 over IPv4 sessions, and find out how to implement VRF Lite for BGP to support isolated routing tables in complex network architectures. By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with practical skills for ensuring your Cisco routing infrastructure is scalable, efficient, and performant. This course is an ideal fit for IT professionals preparing for CCNP and CCIE certification exams, or anyone looking to advance their BGP expertise for Cisco networking.
